This Valentine’s Day, we are coming together to show compassion not cruelty. Last year, the Government announced a raft of draconian and cruel new policies that risk eroding refugees’ rights. Their plans are all politics and performance. They will only feed division and hostility in our communities. They send a message to our neighbours, colleagues, friends, and

Friday 5 December 2025 225 local community groups from across the UK are joining forces to tell the Home Secretary that they reject her ‘ruthless new plans to erode refugee rights’ in an open letter (1) today (5 December). Community organisations from Asylum Link Merseyside to West Cornwall Against Racism (2), including refugee charities, sports

There’s no doubt: the government’s chilling new plans to erode asylum rights are devastating to those seeking sanctuary in the UK.  People who have fled the horror of war and persecution, suffering terrible trauma, need support to get back on their feet.

Over the years, the Together With Refugees coalition has come together to show the love on Valentine’s Day. The Government has just introduced new legislation on asylum. That’s why this Valentine’s Day is an important moment for us to show our strength and support for refugees. There’s three ways your organisation or group can be

As I reflect on 2024, I am grateful that so many people and groups up and down the country continue to stand together with refugees and are willing to take action for change.  I was especially heartened by the acts of  kindness and care we saw in response to the far right attacks this summer.

Together With Refugees is launching a new initiative – the Campaign Organising Network – a network of passionate people working with others in their communities to unlock the energy, commitment and power of local people to take action to win a fair new plan for refugees. This way we can show our politicians that people

With a new UK Government and Parliament, we have a real opportunity to secure a fair new plan for refugees. More than half of MPs in Parliament were elected in 2024 and all MPs are aware the changing political landscape means they already need to start thinking ahead to the next election. As many political

Across the country hundreds of organisations have joined the Fair Begins Here Promise to reject hostility, demonstrate solidarity with refugees and commit to taking action to win a fair new plan for refugees.  The Fair Begins Here Parliamentary Promise is an opportunity for politicians of all parties to stand alongside these organisations – both local
