With 200 other organisations and over 12,000 individuals, we& #39;ve signed @RefugeeAction& #39;s open letter.

"We believe in a caring and connected society, where everyone is included, and we can all thrive. These plans are a direct threat to that society."

At times like this we& #39;re so grateful to be able to collaborate with inspiring and expert organisations in our sector across the UK. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Umarmendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Umarmendes Gesicht">
