Anyone know the best way to contact Ukrainian families directly in order to sponsor them and offer accommodation in the UK? Thanks. #Ukraine #RefugeesWelcome #Refugees #refugeesupport #refugee #UkraineWar

Poorer nations spend 40% of income on food; many British families spend 10% of income on fuel. The war driven increase in both, on top of post Covid increases, and challenge richer people and nations to share what they/we have. That would be true globalisation.

When we were in #Lesvos we feared what might happen to #Refugees when they made their way into Europe, but never thought their lot would be this awful. On the frozen frontiers with the migrants caught in a lethal game https://t.co/B6sPwPIFAO

@thelincolnite It is so vital to make people aware of the true plight of #Refugees @christy_lefteri is speaking about her books on that plight @LincBookFest

[CompassionateLincoln @CompassionateLN]

It was chilling to hear about the camp remembering the people we met there.

[Phil Hamlyn Williams @PhilWriter]

You will be heart broken by this documentary on #Moria #refugee camp. @christy_lefteri paints the same story in fiction #TheBeekeeperofAleppo. https://t.co/8lkp3Ngffk

[CompassionateLincoln @CompassionateLN]

@Doctor_Morrow thank you for following. Writing as @PhilWriter do you see scope for involvement from @unilincoln ?

[Phil Hamlyn Williams @PhilWriter]

Please @BBCBreakfast the British public is utterly ashamed of our government for threatening to imprison people just like you and me who are fleeing danger in their hip or country

[CompassionateLincoln @CompassionateLN]

@JaninLincoln @StephenGraham73 It reminds me of the feeling of helplessness of I Daniel Blake

[CompassionateLincoln @CompassionateLN]
