Absolute joy working with these Syrian families. This 6 week course is run by @wave_wahines a local girls surfing project. Amazing to see the change in their faces from abject fear to broad smiles. Find out more about community sponsorship [email protected]

I have dealt with the Syria crisis since its start, 10 years ago.
I have never seen the 5.6 million refugees and their hosts risk so much hardship and deprivation.
To turn despair into hope, the decline in humanitarian and resilience aid must be reversed now.

Not being racist is not enough. We must be anti-racist.
In our homes.
In our communities.
In our schools.
In our houses of worship.
In our workplaces.
In our families.
In our hearts.

There's a lot of disturbing news at the moment, and it's important to use this time to think deeply about how we need to build back better and stronger. @KayzaRose summarised this perfectly in an event last year with @alt_fictions
"We must show Syrians that we have not forgotten them."
Resettlement is a tool for hope and empowerment, but fell to a record low in 2020.

Hand delivered today by @HackneySociety - their fantastic new book on Hackney women through history you may not have heard of - perfect post ahead of #IWD2021 tomorrow!
Today and every Sunday the Storehouse #foodbank#volunteers give their time to make a difference in helping to prepare and deliver food to homeless hostels and local #Hackney residence who's in need.
Huge thanks to them all!
That’s it. I’ve officially become the first person to carry a log for 80km and raising vital funds for @UNRefugeesUK in the process. I took me four tough sessions but I did it. Now for a hot shower and a cold beer.
