What a lovely idea @Refuweegee! #RefugeesWelcome

[Refuweegee 🧡 @Refuweegee]

Help us to welcome Refuweegees to Glasgow by building Welcome Packs! 🎒💌

These bags full of toiletries & other wee treats are given to recently arrived families & individuals, to help them feel at home in their new city.

Here’s a wee thread to make donating simple & impactful.

It's time to harness our solidarity for dignity and justice.

This government must immediately scrap the Nationality and Borders Bill and its plan to punish Afghan refugees who arrive in the UK spontaneously.

In August, we had the privilege of running a holiday club for fifty children.

They were able to just be kids for one week, away from the stresses of the asylum system.
