Messages from frontline asylum charities wondering what to do in face of gov claiming start of asylum arrests tomorrow:
1. People are frightened, be careful not to allow our fear to spread further to them. Be calm. Remember your role is to listen, present options, don’t direct.

Delighted to have hosted @MikeKaneMP's #InternationalWomensDay2024 celebration here at Waterside on behalf of @TraffordCouncil . A powerful and inspiring afternoon celebrating contributions of incredible women in our community.

Yesterday, my heart was deeply touched, alongside other NHS leaders, as a courageous woman shared her story. From the challenging journey of seeking asylum to finally being granted refugee status, her narrative revealed the staggering adversities she faced every step of the way.
It was a profound moment that stirred raw emotions within us all, leading me to question:
Do we solely rely on lived experiences to determine our capacity for compassion? Can't we, with compassion and empathy, lead the change for a system that uplifts rather than fails?
I hope that we can plant a seed of empathy this Valentine's Day.

We have written this resource with @GMIAU to help people in asylum accommodation who are receiving either a grant of refugee status or a refusal of their claim for asylum to understand their housing rights.

A heartfelt shoutout to @CheadleHulmeSch for their incredible generosity! They not only donated but also wrapped 196 gifts for children seeking asylum residing in a hotel. Year after year, the community's kindness leaves us in awe, making initiatives like these possible.
It's been a hectic couple of weeks, but every moment was worth it. A massive thank you to the 30 dedicated volunteers who made the event a resounding success. In the voluntary sector, collaboration is our strength, and together, we create moments that truly matter. 🤝✨
@Care4Calais A big thank you to the volunteers who joined us in distributing gifts, adding a touch of magic to the experience!
