This beautiful poem, 'Trees of Home' by Sita Brahmachari & illustrated by Axel Scheffler, speaks to the heartbreak of family separation. Even after #lockdown many refugee families will be apart due to unfair UK rules. @ukhomeoffice must bring #FamiliesTogether #refugeeweek2020

It's day 2 of #RefugeeWeek2020, and if you're looking after young children during #lockdown, here are three fun activities that will grow their awareness of refugees. https://t.co/5RlDlJg2Nx #FamiliesTogether

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

Today in Westminster - Refugee Council and #FamiliesTogether coalition hand in 75,000 strong petition to reunite refugee families. Families are being kept apart by these cruel rules but the Home Secretary can change this with a stroke of her pen. https://t.co/z0JxpYKSC8

"Family is what makes me, me.

Family is where I crave to be."

Why are we keeping refugee families apart?
