I conducted the evaluation of Me + My Normal with Northorpe and have seldom worked with such a talented, passionate, skilled bunch, who work with young people in affirming, young person-centred, strength-based ways, where young people and families flourish. Me + My Normal was an absolute triumph.

Unlawful deportations and forced removals have been stopped before by other passengers refusing to share a flight with someone subjected to such profound rights abuses.

PLEASE SHARE - THIS IS URGENT.

The UK government plans to deport our friend, Fatou Tamba, on Tuesday 22 April 2025, on a Royal Air Maroc flight.

We must act urgently to stop this.
