We stand with refugees for safety, family and justice, using legal expertise and advocacy to bring refugee families together 👪
Reform UK has turned one of the deadliest realities facing people seeking safety into a game.
At a time when lives are already being lost, we cannot allow dehumanising narratives to become normalised.

A masked minority don’t speak for us.
This weekend, we saw racism and intimidation directed at people seeking safety.
Our government must reject division and choose dignity: protect family reunion and create safe routes.
Seeking safety is not a crime. There is no place for hate.

A few weeks ago, the High Court ruled that the Government’s suspension of refugee family reunion was lawful, leaving families separated and a vital safe route closed.
But this fight isn’t over. We believe there are strong grounds to challenge that decision.

Last week, Liban* walked through the arrivals gate in the UK to find his uncle waiting for him.
Liban was only a child when he was forced to flee Somalia after being abducted from school by an armed group. He escaped, surviving a gunshot wound as he ran for his life.

Two years ago, racist violence spread across towns and cities across the UK. Asylum accommodation was attacked, communities were terrorised and people were targeted because of who they were or where they came from.

Andy Burnham is right about one thing: safe routes are part of the solution.
For years, we've heard governments promise that tougher enforcement alone would stop dangerous Channel crossings. It hasn't.

With family reunion suspended and almost no safe routes for people fleeing conflict, many are left with no choice but to risk dangerous journeys.

Some of these families applied for refugee family reunion before the route was suspended. Yet, months later, they are still waiting—separated from their loved ones while enduring devastating conditions.

Hey Andy Burnham!
A new Prime Minister means a chance to choose a different path. For too long, refugees have been used as political scapegoats while hostile rhetoric has divided communities & harmful policies have made it harder for people seeking safety to rebuild their lives.

With the final to come this weekend, players who took part in this World Cup were born into displacement.
Behind some of football’s biggest names are stories of families forced to flee. But most refugees won’t become professional footballers—and they shouldn’t have to in order to deserve safety.

Two years ago today, the Rwanda scheme was scrapped.
It proved harmful policies can be challenged and defeated.
But the fight isn’t over. Refugees still face barriers, families remain separated, and safe routes are far too limited.

More children will remain separated from their parents, and more families left waiting to be reunited.

Many are forced to flee persecution, criminalisation and violence simply for being who they are. Yet without safe routes, many are left with impossible choices.

Behind the headlines: familiar hostility, tighter restrictions.
As talk turns to football “coming home”, we’re thinking of those pushed further from safety and family.

Instead, the Government's new immigration and asylum bill is expected to introduce tougher restrictions.

Keir Starmer's resignation marks the end of a government that promised a new approach to asylum.
Initially, some of the most harmful policies of the previous government were abandoned. But the wider shift many refugees had hoped for never came.
