Please take 15 minutes to give this statement a read and engage with the government consultation. It’s a powerful opportunity to have our voices heard and to stand for the biblical values of compassion, dignity for all and hospitality. Links in my bio for more info

It’s been a month since we launched our Refugees Online project. @Churchcentral Birmingham have been helping refugees and asylum seekers get online during the pandemic.

Not been on social media much in 2021, so a delayed update. In January I had the immense privilege of starting as CEO for @welcomechurches. A charity working to inspire, resource & equip the UK Church to welcome & support refugees & asylum seekers. Excited for the journey ahead!
@RobertJenrick please continue the #EveryoneIn initiative. It is vitally important we continue to support those experiencing homelessness and extend it to those with NRPF throughout the course of the pandemic. Please attend our Feb homelessness summit @CitizensUK
The Government's #EveryoneIn initiative meant 15,000 people were given a safe place to stay this year.
People like Catalin, who has been homeless with NRPF, had a bed for the first time.
Sign our card to @RobertJenrick & call for this continued support https://t.co/WcVOd0KYvS
