People seeking asylum are not ‘invaders’. They are people, who have a name, a family, they have skills, they have dreams and they are seeking refuge from persecution #NoHumanIsIllegal

[Scottish Refugee Council 🧡 @scotrefcouncil]

This language from the Home Sec is completely unacceptable and shameful. We can't allow these harmful narratives to become the norm.

[Nick Hobbs @Nickhobbs78]

Pleased to have given evidence to @SP_EHRCJ today, alongside amazing colleagues from the refugee sector, on the impact of the Illegal Migration Bill, & what ScotGov & public bodies can do to mitigate its impacts. @pinar_aksu5 @savanQadir @Mariajosepavezl @FOSS_Falkirk @Refuweegee

@n11ckyc @JustGiving Hi Nicky, they are actually not refugees, but asylum seekers. That means theirs is a lesser status and are entitled to a worse off support package, and they’re not allowed to earn a living.
Thank you for taking the initiative to support them in any way you can 🌸

[FOSS - Friends of Scottish Settlers @FOSS_Falkirk]

@n11ckyc @Re_Act_Scotland Hello Nicky, thank you for getting in touch with us and expressing your concern and will to volunteer. Please go to our website (link in bio) and fill in the application form. We’ll get in touch with you shortly for a chat. Thanks again, and have a Happy Christmas and New Year 💝

To mark International #HumanRightsDay , staff and Trustees of CSREC @CSREC01 and FOSS wrote Christmas cards to the Asylum Seekers currently residing in Falkirk to make them feel welcome #AsylumIsAHumanRight #HumanRights

[FOSS - Friends of Scottish Settlers @FOSS_Falkirk]

Today is #InternationalVolunteerDay and we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for our wonderful team of volunteers— you are the most amazing, committed and selfless people, and without you, we couldn’t do nearly as much. Here’s to Team FOSS! 👏🏻✨👏🏻✨

💚Unwanted Christmas Gifts💚

Many keep Christmas gifts for years because they dont really use or like what they got. But we should try not to keep them stashed away, just to be found years later. Here are some tips!
