The news narrative doesn’t reflect our joyful experience working alongside the amazing Albanian community at @ShpresaPrograme

For over 20 years #AlbanianNeighbours @ShpresaPrograme have been making Britain home.

Today they take action against hate as we come together to build a more welcoming society.

We stand with you 💗

Imagine there was a policy that would transform 1000s people’s lives, boost the economy and raise money for the treasury

New research from @jdportes suggests regularising the immigration status of people who have made the UK their home would do exactly this

#SettleOurStatus

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

It’s the right thing to do, would boost the economy and would raise money for the treasury.

That’s why @thetimes reports a ‘growing consensus’ across the political spectrum that the government should regularise the immigration status of people who have made their home.

[Tom Calver @TomHCalver]

This is why a growing consensus is calling for these people to be "regularised". Calculations by @CitizensUK suggest each person could contribute £2k a year in tax – which would more than offset the £1,400 they claim in welfare

Proud of @CitizensUK colleagues Elsie Mumah and @FroilanLegaspi making powerful speeches about the importance of storytelling in making the UK more welcoming to migrants and refugees at launch of @UAL AKO Institute of Storytelling #TogetherWeCan

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

Great to join @UAL to launch the AKO storytelling institute.

Today, the @ukhomeoffice announced a fee waiver for some children applying to be registered as British Citizens.

This is a massive step in the right direction. We’re proud of all our members that have spent years organising and being part of the #ChildrenIntoCitizens campaign.

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

NEW: The Government has been forced to waive the £1,012 child citizenship fee for children in state care and children whose families who can't afford it.

A big win for the campaigners fighting to ensure no child is priced out of citizenship - @PRCBC1 @CitizensUK @AmnestyUK_CHRN
