🎉Another inspiring workshop with @KazzumArts! Our young creatives delved into vibrant dancing games and crafted CARAS bunting, reflecting their cultures and creativity. 🎊 The rhythmic drumming session helped young people feel connected to home through music. 🏡 #CreativeYouth
'System meltdown' @refugeecouncil significant report on the impact of the #RwandaBill & Illegal Migration Act ➡️115,575 people seeking asylum will be stranded in “permanent limbo” by the end of 2024 ➡️Costing taxpayers up to £6.2 billion a year refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/go…
🌈✊ Join us in standing against the deportation of LGBTIQ+ individuals seeking sanctuary. No one should face the horrors of persecution twice. Sign the petition to end this injustice and ensure safety and dignity for all. SIGN HERE 🔗 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6521…
🏡 Shocking findings from the @refugeecouncil report reveal a 239% surge in #homelessness among asylum-seeking households evicted from #HomeOffice accommodation. 💔 "Many of the households include children." This flawed system perpetuates a crisis of homelessness & instability.
A dark day. But there is always hope. The Rwanda bill has been passed. Today we grieve, but tomorrow - along with the 500+ orgs of the Together With Refugees coalition - will continue to fight for something better.
Today marks a dark chapter in British history. The UK's legal obligation to uphold international human rights is being disregarded with the rushed Rwanda bill, which is flawed beyond measure. 🚫 This isn't a solution; it's a tragedy in the making. 💔
This wonderful man just gave his winnings to the @refugeecouncil "If everything in your world went wrong and you had to take everything you owned and your family, and just head for the hills - what a desperate and broken situation you'd be in... We should help those people"

Whilst MPs debate the Rwanda Bill, further scrutiny at @CommonsPAC by APPG member @timloughton reveals the truth - Government have left 40,000+ people with genuine claims for asylum in limbo, not able to be removed and unfairly blocked from contributing to British society.
How does CARAS boost the mental health and wellbeing of an asylum-seeking child? ✅ Fun, friendship, solidarity, stability, access to information & learning help young people thrive despite the challenges they face. #MentalHealth #Wellbeing
Creativity taps into unique ways to express ourselves- colour, imagination, relaxation, celebration and connection all feature in work with @TaraTheatre 🎨 #CARASVoices #CommunityVoices
🗺️ In the past year we have had people join us from all over #London. This reflects the complexity of people's lives while they seek asylum: they are often moved between different accommodation at short notice, making it very hard to have consistent support or build networks.
🌍 These are tough times: more people in need of support, less funding available, and policies that punish people seeking safety. Support us: donate now. 💙 #DonateNow #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference ✅ justgiving.com/caras
Smoothies for delicious happiness! 🍹 People living in asylum accommodation have such limited access to fresh and nutritious food and malnutrition is rife. We are taking simple steps to change that. 🥝🍓
Working in partnership and solidarity across Wandsworth: we are so proud to see the #BoroughOfSanctuary movement growing at pace 🤝 @klsettlement @WCENLondon @wandbc @StGeorgesUni @HomeCafeSW18 @justshelter1 @Better_Balham @TootingLibrary

Today our thoughts are with the people who came here to seek safety who now live with a new terror. That is what the Rwanda bill boils down to. Performative, useless terror serving as a cynical distraction from the real problems we face. We will fight it with everything we have.

We welcome today's report from @HumanRightsCtte re #RwandaBill "...we have concluded that the Bill does not comply with the UK’s human rights obligations and would place the UK in breach of international law..." We share these grave concerns & its impact on #childrights
