Happy Shrove Tuesday, Chinese new year and night before Ramadan! Diversity at its finest.
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
The government has published its homelessness strategy for England. This was a vital opportunity to tackle asylum and immigration policies that drive homelessness and destitution but it fell short naccom.org.uk/a-national-p...
Some rare good news!
Following a legal challenge by Deighton Pierce Glynn and significant pressure from our sector inc. @homelesslink.bsky.social, until 16 Jan the Govt has agreed to extend the move-on period for newly-granted refugees facing street homelessness to 56 days.

Grateful to @theguardian.com for covering the most recent @naccomnetwork.bsky.social data briefing which charts the continued increase in homelessness experienced by refugees, people seeking asylum and other migrants, driven by hostile Government policies.
Very proud of the @naccomnetwork.bsky.social team and network for this data launch, but the reading is grim 👇🏻
In summary: hostile Government policies = increased homelessness for refugees, people seeking asylum and other migrants
#EndDestitution
The Home Office has started taking action on cases of Syrian refugees with pending settlement applications. People are being sent letters saying they have 21 days to provide evidence as to why they should not be returned to Syria. Panic is spreading.

This plan for housing is:
- Better for people seeking asylum
- Better for wider communities
- Cheaper for the taxpayer
Let’s use public money to buy quality homes for all people in our communities – not to fill the pockets of the mega wealthy.

Hate seeks to divide us. But hope endures when we stand together. Our solidarity is with the Jewish community today. #britainstandstogether
Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but it has not solved one yet.
Love and solidarity 🙏🏻

❗ACT NOW
At the time of writing, you can still submit refugee family reunion applications. However new applications will not be considered after 3pm on Thursday 4th September.
If you're eligible + planned to apply, we urge you to submit an online application as soon as possible, before this time.
If you want a far more thoughtful, researched take on migration than Farage’s attention grabbing cruelty, hard recommend this Ted Talks:

Over the past week, protests outside The Bell Hotel, housing asylum seekers, escalated into violence. While locals raised legitimate worries, far-right agitators hijacked the demonstrations. ❗
Here’s what happened, who’s behind it, and why it matters.

Happy #MandelaDay 🇿🇦

Our Director @youngbridget.bsky.social is quoted in this @bigissue.com article about the further extension to the move-on period.
The extension doesn't go far enough, but provides a valuable opportunity to make the case for a permanent extension to 56 days.
Read now:

Thoroughly recommend a marbled pot plant making workshop followed by a walk on the beach at Whitley Bay as an excellent team building day!
The @naccomnetwork.bsky.social team definitely benefited from some relaxed and creative time together. And always good to get some sand between your toes!
HAPPY REFUGEE WEEK!🥳
This #RefugeeWeek, #OurSuperpower is building a movement of welcome for people seeking sanctuary in the UK.
This week, and every week, we know that community is our superpower.

Privileged to represent @naccomnetwork.bsky.social at the #UKCovid19Inquiry Housing and Homelessness roundtable, as part of the Module 10 investigation into the impact of the pandemic on the UK population.
Key lesson: We need to build better foundations and make the systemic changes needed now.
