We are looking for a host in #Cardiff for a man who is preparing a fresh claim. It’s really important he can focus on his legal case not where he is going to sleep that night. Can we help? Can you host?

"Allowing people to work is giving them their right to be human; it is giving them their right to live a normal life." Laura was bannd from working while seeking asylum in the UK, having fled Congo and Ivory Coast. refugee-action.org.uk/lift-the-ban-l…
LondonWelcomeProject retweeted
Today I’m introducing a bill in Parliament to give asylum seekers the right to work after 3 months in the UK while waiting for their claim to be processed. This would help integration, allow them to contribute to society AND save the taxpayer millions. #nobrainer @RefugeeAction
LondonWelcomeProject retweeted
Many of our guests need hosting for exactly this reason #28days just isn’t long enough to sort your life out as a refugee. @refugeecouncil says 81% of recent refugees are destitute. #hosting helps but isn’t the answer.

Is France a safe country for refugees? Was Sajid Javid right to call the Channel crossings a 'major incident'? As people crossing the Channel dominates the news agenda for yet another day, we set the record straight, separating the truths from the myths…refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/blogs/5…

"It’s a shame the Home Secretary seems to need reminding that seeking asylum is a right & the UK has an obligation to assess claims fairly & grant protection to those who need it." Our response to Sajid Javid's comments about people crossing the channel: refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/54…

Any hosts in south east London (or nearish) like to help a chap who has been in detention for NINE MONTHS? A judge says he can be released - but not until he has somewhere to go. He hasn’t so he stays locked up. This is OUTRAGEOUS. Please RT @BIDdetention and all.

We call on the UK government to end its inhumane hostile environment policies and to end its barely legal and shameful practice of deportation charter flights. We also call for the Stansted 15 to be spared prison. SIGN THE PETITION: change.org/p/home-office-…
LondonWelcomeProject retweeted
We stand in solidarity with #Stansted15 and against this horribly unjust verdict.
The #Stansted15 have been convicted under terror-related legislation - for preventing an unjust and barely legal deportation flight.

Fantastic news! Home Secretary has today committed in Parliament to review the ban preventing people seeking asylum from working. A crucial step forward in the campaign to #LiftTheBan! 130+ campaign partners will be putting the voice of people seeking asylum into this review.

Children's rights are not for sale. Protesting the discriminatory & profit mongering citizenship fees for children in the U.K. All children are equal & need the same rights & protections. Asking families to pay for these rights is state violence & excludes low income families.

High Court to review the £1,012 fee imposed on children to register as British citizens. Good luck to @PRCBC1 @windmill_tilter @Mishcon_de_Reya

This from @NicolaSturgeon gets to the heart of the issue on the right to work. People seeking asylum want to work and make a contribution to the communities that they live in. The current ban serves no purpose & causes unnecessary misery #lifttheban
