How do we get the #HomesForUkraine scheme right, and develop a broader agenda for welcoming? What are the challenges and how do we address them?
read the new paper here from an expert group meeting convened by @IntegrationAPPG socialintegrationappg.org.uk…

Volunteering is good for social connection and had a boost during the pandemic, which needs to be sustained (echoing the findings of the recent report from @IntegrationAPPG)

Small businesses were already heavily involved in their local communities even before the pandemic, says Emilia Quist @fsb_policy. It means they are uniquely suited to be part of place-based solutions to help levelling-up she says. youtube.com/watch?v=t8r_oJEx…

We need to get over the question of who ‘owns’ the volunteers or whether they even see themselves as traditional volunteers, says Catherine Johnstone @RoyalVolService – referring back to a pre-pandemic exhortation to ‘kickstart a volunteering revolution’ youtube.com/watch?v=t8r_oJEx…

“Let’s hope this isn’t a missed opportunity” says @ADOBrien88 of @SocialEnt_UK - we need more leadership to put pressure on the whole business community to ensure that efforts to support local communities during the pandemic don’t evaporate as life starts to return to normal.

"Access to space is so important. You can’t integrate if you can’t come together.” - @ailbhe_mcnabola
More in the latest @IntegrationAPPG report, for which we highlighted how community businesses are providing shared spaces to add new life to local areas.

Only getting to this at the end of the week - but really good to see @IntegrationAPPG and @EndLonelinessUK share a belief in the importance of high streets and shared spaces and this should be a part of Levelling Up and Towns Funds.

Great to see our Catalyst programme mentioned in the @IntegrationAPPG report "Building stronger communities in post-pandemic Britain" - the engagement of young people from ethnic minority groups is vital to build more connected and integrated communities.

In all the #spendingreview excitement, would be easy to miss today's report from the @IntegrationAPPG. Highlights importance of social infrastructure to building strong communities, something that will need to be at heart of #LevellingUp White Paper later this year.

Timely report on building stronger communities in post-pandemic Britain from @IntegrationAPPG and chair @Gibbo4Darlo. Good to see focus on volunteering, place, business and skills. Huge potential for volunteers and charities to be part of the solution. socialintegrationappg.org.uk…

Yup. “Businesses, charities and voluntary organisations need to work together to plan the types of volunteering that best supports communities” says the All Party Group on Social Integration @IntegrationAPPG
At @PilotlightUK we see where this works…

Thanks to @IntegrationAPPG for hosting an excellent discussion, chaired by my good colleague @Gibbo4Darlo
We are a great country and can do so much more to help integrate those who have chosen Britain as their home. Developing a better positive British Citizenship policy is key
Citizenship ceremonies are often held in uninspiring council spaces, says @AlbertoCostaMP - we could be doing much more to celebrate and welcome new citizens who decide to become British
APPG on Social Integration retweeted
The public supports migrants settling down in the UK and becoming citizens, over the churn of temporary 'guestworkers' , says @jillyrutter. Yet there are still too many barriers to becoming British - including the high cost.

Among other issues, they will be discussing the findings and recommendations of @AlbertoCostaMP's independent inquiry into citizenship policy, published by @britishfuture in this report: britishfuture.org/publicatio…
