A huge thank you to everyone who donated wool to our Radical Knitting group! 🧶💜

The group were thrilled and have already been making beautiful items👇

🗣️“First, I met new friends. I relearnt how to knit again. I made something I’m happy with. I forget my stress when I knit.”

Together with 650+ Together With Refugees 🧡 orgs, we call for a fair, compassionate and effective asylum system, that welcomes people who have had to flee unimaginable horrors, not one that punishes them.

This includes ending the nasty rhetoric that demonises people seeking asylum.

We need a compassionate, fair and effective asylum system that:

✅makes timely decisions
✅recognises women’s specific experiences of gender-based persecution
✅provides safe routes for all those who need them

⁣
People seeking safety should:
✔️have their claims heard in the UK
✔️be supported to heal and thrive as they rebuild their lives here.
