We're getting ready for Hope Asylum Voices, our get together where staff and residents spend a day preparing and sharing a meal, learning more about each other and the asylum system and having fun. Always a high point of the month.

No-one should ever be homeless. Ever. Doesn't matter what age. Doesn't matter what background. Doesn't matter what immigration status. #EndHomelessness #EndDestitution

💔💔 Heartbreaking account from an RNLI volunteer. It reminds us that most people in the UK are kind & compassionate. A tiny minority want to stoke fear & racism & receive outsized coverage. They aren't the majority. Diversity is the strength of our country Diversity is the strength of our communities

We might be stating the obvious here but: if you're attacking the volunteers who heroically rescue people stranded at sea, you're definitely not one of the good guys.

The UK asylum system is deliberately confusing, hard to navigate, and frustrating -- and many people inside the system feel like they have no hope. Here at Hope, we are working to change that by making sure all of our clients have access to holistic health services and community support.

A recap of our year so far! Since January 2026, we have: - Housed 16 new people - Accepted 20 new people to our Wellbeing service - Given free legal advice to 76 people And there's still four months left to go!

Thread. New immigration statistics out today. For all the people saying 'I don't have a problem with asylum, only the people who arrive illegally'; That's not how the asylum system works.

We are happy to say that our Wellbeing project provides small grants to clients to spend on self-care. The asylum system deliberately depersonalises and dehumanises people who are looking for a safe place to live. Hope Projects is here to make sure that our clients can still feel like themselves.

When you're living on a Home Office budget of just £49.18 a week, it is hard to get all the food you need to stay healthy. That's why Hope partners with St. Vincent de Paul to provide a free weekly food parcel for all our clients -- because we believe that no one should ever go hungry.

We need a move-on period that really works, housing allowance that is enough to pay the rent, and the most vulnerable among those facing homelessness to be recognised as such and supported by the local authority.

This is the charity I donate to every time the Home Secretary says or does something evil about immigrants, refugees or Abroad. It’s an expensive but worthwhile hobby, and thanks to all of you who joined in. Here’s what they do.

The new PM wants to put a stop to rough sleeping - that's great news. We've got a good place to start: extending the move on period, so newly recognised refugees have time to find a home, and scrapping plans to strip people refused asylum support of emergency help to keep them off the streets.

The new Immigration and Asylum Bill risks making it even harder for people seeking safety to get the protection they need, punishing survivors of modern slavery, and tearing families apart. This race to be ever more hostile is destroying lives. The government needs to change course.
