Shutting down family reunion for refugees is nothing but performative cruelty.

A wander through the wonderful Walthamstow Wetlands via canal boats, cows, coots, and cormorants. Especially happy to welcome four new participants today— a reminder of how vital these trips are for people rebuilding their lives in London. #RefugeesWelcome #WalthamstowWetlands

Absolutely, we need to find new ways to tell stories of displacement. Particularly in a media and political environment that is determined to paint refugees as a threat. We're always looking for artists and writers to work with our participants!

This weekend, our family group took a journey through time at the London Transport Museum - from the rattle of horse-drawn carriages to the thunder of Tubes. We beeped vintage horns, learned how to use old ticket machines, and got lost in the bold, barmy and beautiful old transport posters.

While Easter is a time of hope, we know it can be a particularly hard time for those far from home and the loved ones they usually celebrate with. We also want to remember those communities who are persecuted for their faith, and those marking the day in the midst of war. #Easter #RefugeesWelcome

One of our families has been suddenly moved after a huge fire in their 'hotel'. We're relieved they're safe. However, this highlights again why warehousing asylum seekers is so wrong - leading to unsafe living conditions and breeding division.

Seeking sanctuary is an act of love. ❤️ Some families travel together. Some take dangerous journeys alone, in the hope their risk will open safer routes for loved ones. So let’s show some compassion on this day of passion. Show your orange hearts! #RefugeesWelcome #valentinesday
