UPDATE:
Police and HO security saying Peckham coach to Bibby Stockholm has been cancelled - but they won’t provide any proof. We've also seen today's schedule which has 3 more stops so we're holding the coach until we get confirmation so they don't pick anyone up

We’d love to connect with refugee folks aged 16-21 who are interested in drama. Our Young Company meets on Monday evenings 5-7pm at @RoundhouseLDN and is a fab space for self-expression, storytelling and friendship. Please help us spread the word to reach those who may be keen!

Incredible time @Springboard_YA summer programme☀️
We shared how songs and protest chants are the life of protest movements across barriers and across different struggles ✊🏼
We created beautiful multi-lingual banners to show solidarity, joy, resistance from across the world 🎨

This is a fantastic initiative. A young refugee we referred to your summer course just after she arrived in the UK said it was the best thing that had ever happened to her.

This is a fantastic summer programme specially aimed at young, newly-arrived asylum seekers and refugees (13-18). Language skills, drama, sport, friendship etc.
One Iranian teen we referred said: "Springboard is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
Please share.
📣 OUR SUMMER PROGRAMME IS BACK! 📣 We’ve got 3 exciting weeks planned for newly arrived young people (13-18) packed with creative activities and sports starting on 1st August 🎉🎉 More info on what to expect each week coming soon!! Referrals are now open airtable.com/shrt1qjUAMmauxh…

I've just donated to this great small charity that helps newly arrived refugee youth ages 13-18 begin to rebuild their lives in the UK. @Springboard_YA provides essential English, life skills and wellbeing support. Will you join me and donate too? crowdfunder.co.uk/supportref…

The #BordersBill is a dangerous piece of legislation which will lead to more deaths, misery, limbo and neglect - no-one should be celebrating it.
We will continue to fight it - & the racism and division it represents - alongside the growing
#TogetherWithRefugees movement.
I'm delighted that the #BordersBill, which will break the deadly business model of the people-smugglers, has passed in the House of Commons just now.
It will deliver a new, firm but fair asylum system to deter illegal migration.

We had a brilliant day today at @KilnTheatre sharing our play ‘All the beds I have slept in’ with a couple of hundred of refugee young people and ESOL students! Recognition, celebration, reflection. After a week of heartbreaking news we were thankful for community x

Mardin says thanks for our award! (Midway through attending the mayor’s Black History Month evening event, hence the night sky outside 🤦🏻♂️😅)
And a few words from our winners, the inspirational Phosphoros Theatre Company @WeArePhosphoros. Congratulations, and thank you for all that you do for men & boys.

This morning MPs will debate Clause 10 of the Government's #AntiRefugeeBill - a clause that implements one of the most regressive changes to the UK's refugee and asylum policy in modern times. So what does Clause 10 do and why is it so dangerous? (THREAD)

Hawa & other students have been preparing banners to welcome #LittleAmal a figure of a Syrian refugee child who has walked across different countries to the UK to focus attention on the urgent needs of young refugees. @LewishSanctuary @Stories_of_Home @ColumbansUK @danny_ncc

Our 5 clients are challenging the lawfulness of govt’s consultation on #NewPlanforImmigration. We need donations to protect them from paying HO’s legal costs. We’ve already raised £10k of our £20k target but need some help! Donate & find out more info👇🏾
