Lovely to join Asylum Link & the Action Asylum project at Princes Park 🌳
Since last November, volunteers have worked alongside Friends of Princes Park almost every week, contributing nearly 1,300 hours to improve & maintain the park. The before & after pics say it all! 👏

Half a million strong. Together.
The biggest march against the far-right in British history.

We're stepping away from X, since it no longer feels like the right space for the work we do - bringing people together and taking action for nature.
Thanks to everyone who's supported us here. You can keep up to date with us over on Instagram: action.asylum

Love is greater than hate.
Unity is stronger than division.
Hope is more powerful than fear.

Proud to see our Leeds volunteers featured in @WLDispatch ! They've been part of the story at Kirkstall Valley Farm this summer – harvesting onions, potatoes, pumpkins and winter squash, bringing energy to this brilliant community project. 🎃

A conclusion from our independent evaluation: Volunteering changes public perceptions.
Side-by-side work breaks down barriers, sparking understanding as volunteers and refugees share stories. To one staff member it was like opening a window onto a new world. Link in bio for more.

One year after the far-right riots, a new story is being told.
Lord Randall writes in @BigIssue about how Action Asylum volunteers responded by picking up tools, planting trees, and building trust together.

The evaluation of Action Asylum by Dr. Chris Stone concluded that Volunteering builds social cohesion—fostering connection & shared purpose.🤝
“Working and walking side by side takes away so much tension, leading to more personal and immediate discussions.”

At Action Asylum, we love taking part in green volunteering opportunities! We are in a climate emergency and everyone must be included in the response. That's why we have been planting thousands of trees, cleaning beaches, and helping with habitat restoration all across the UK!

Just a heads up - I will be posting about this every day until it's over...
