Home Office set to evict hundreds of asylum seekers from Walthamstow hotel Residents were given eight days notice of the mass eviction planned for this Friday. Many still do not know where they will be moved to walthamforestecho.co.uk/2024/01/23/hom…

Very good to have Rev Vanessa Conant and St Mary's Walthamstow speaking up for some of the most vulnerable in our community in this piece. Praying they’re heard.

📣 Message to CEO of Clearsprings Ready Homes! 🏘️ 1️⃣ Extend people's stay until April 2024 as previously planned. 2️⃣ Ensure a minimum notice period of 2 months before any further changes. 3️⃣ Arrange a meeting to discuss improvements in housing conditions. #HomeForHome 2/2

Hi @Tfl, do you have space on the bus?🚌 Asylum seekers, who receive a mere £8.86 a week, can't afford the fare. This affects mothers doing the school run, people attending medical appointments, and language learners missing out on ESOL classes. #TransportEquity

Mayor Sadiq Khan says ‘London is for Everyone’. But our friends seeking asylum can’t afford bus travel! We’re at City Hall to give Seb Dance a Valentine’s card and ask for a DATE to discuss how we can make space on the bus for all of us! #roomonthebus4us #londonforeveryone
