🚨 Destitution and homelessness are rising at an alarming rate among people in the asylum and immigration systems. 2023-2024 was the first year on record that @NACCOMnetwork has accommodated over 4,000 people in one year – a concerning milestone.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
No woman should have to live in fear. We’re proud to work with incredible partners supporting displaced women, and working towards a more equal world.

Deaths of people sleeping rough up 42% according to @our_MoH
This rise is tragic. It's important that every death is investigated with a safeguarding adult review so that we can prevent people from prematurely losing their lives in future.

Each year, 1000s of people are forced to endure the indignity & trauma of homelessness as they go through the asylum & immigration system. On #WorldHomelessnessDay, we stand in solidarity with them, & all people experiencing homelessness.
Everyone deserve a safe and stable home.

Just a couple of weekends ago, one of our Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP) members, Salih, participated in the Great North Run. With over 50,000 runners, it was an unforgettable experience for him. Congratulations, Salih—we couldn't be prouder!

Our friends at Care4Calais tell it like it is in this powerful letter published in The Guardian. If there were safe routes to refugee protection in the UK the 12 people who lost their lives last week would still be alive today.

We hope last nights events in Sunderland will be the end to the violence caused by the spread of misinformation.
However, now seems like a good time to share a few tips of how to stay safe in times of unrest, no matter who you are.

It’s far too hot to go running but here I am anyway, like a champion, like a goddamn hero, like a legend in my own time. I’m doing the Great North Run in about 6 weeks for @actionFdn - give generously and I might not have to post any more photos like this ajbellgreatnorthrun2024.enth…
