A lovely quote from one of our befrienders 😊
Refugees are people the Government believes would face persecution in their home countries. Yet they plan to increase the time it takes to get settled status from 5 years to 10 years, with many having to wait 20 to 30 years.

It was amazing to be at the Celebration of the 10th Anniversary for Birmingham being a City of Sanctuary. It was great to celebrate the welcoming community that Birmingham has been for many years. Fantastic to meet friends old & new!
#refugeeswelcome
We count it a true privilege to be helping those seeking sanctuary to feel welcomed when they arrive & to help integrate them into life into Birmingham. 🧡

We signed this letter, along with proud Brummies who know that Brum wouldn’t be Brum without people from around the world.
But we’re worried our proud tradition of sanctuary is being undermined by divisive rhetoric and dangerous policy. 👇
