The astonishing @francoscotland is running in the London Marathon. You might have thought at his age he would know better. If you can spare a quid to encourage him and raise funds for the splendid @FarmAfrica , please do so at https://t.co/JL0Wo2ip4l

Anyone else having the thing where the Sharecode for the right to work in the UK for #refugees with a valid BRP just doesn't work?

Kind of dispiriting to find jobs for our want-to-be-contributing family but they can't take them because of a govt itglitch #communitysponsorship

@KevinGa86137549 @Resettle_Devon @SponsorRefugee Best of luck with the UC labyrinth. Our experience was that it takes a lot longer than we'd been led to believe - still waiting for housing benefit to arrive. We're v grateful to our patient landlord.

The lovely folk at https://t.co/dVQ5mlZS5Z got in touch to look to connect with any resettled Afghans near Fife who might want to spend an afternoon in their beautiful walled garden away from hotel / temporary accommodation. Please pass the word! [email protected]

[Ukraine Dorset @ukrainedorset]

First #UkraineDorset bbq was a great success. Thanks to @HightownCrows, for wonderful music, @DorsetMind, @Waitrose, our volunteers & all who came. Please spread the word about #PoyntingtonFreeShop for Ukrainians needing supplies: https://t.co/zTVOvpfHSz

@BathRefugees Congratulations. Hope it is going well.

[Gulwali Passarlay 🧡 @GulwaliP]

I am grateful to the 25 people for donating over a £1000 which will help around 20 families in desperate need of humanitarian assistance, affected by the tragic earthquake. Please share the fundraiser with family & friends we can raise more funds to help. https://t.co/AwhKa2Ylpl

[Afghan Support Group @support_afghan]

Just finished the astonishing The Lightless Sky by @GulwaliP A book that will haunt and inspire in equal measure. Read it - you won't regret it. Thanks to @NeilJamesonUK for the recommendation.

@MsJenniRegan @IMIX_UK Lovely welcome to Cranborne's newest residents at the village street party. This photo was taken early yesterday before the great event - we snuck in some additional bunting on the bandstand. Photo @Lafosseindorset

Hello @EE Please can you give your Susan, who spoke to our Michael about SIM cards for our soon-to-arrive Afghan family a big thank you (and perhaps some cake and a day off) for being so helpful and taking such trouble? #communitysponsorship
