Stunning Saturday stroll up in the Chess Valley! Braving the cold, our Never Walk Alone group (including some fantastic new volunteers) enjoyed a 9km ramble through the Chiltern Hills from Chorleywood to Chesham. #refugeeswelcome #walkcycleLDN

Seeking sanctuary is an act of love. ❤️ Some families travel together. Some take dangerous journeys alone, in the hope their risk will open safer routes for loved ones. So let’s show some compassion on this day of passion. Show your orange hearts! #RefugeesWelcome #valentinesday

Barring those who take dangerous routes from British citizenship is nothing but performative cruelty! #refugeeswelcome

Massive Fences thanks to Laura Henry-Allain and Nathan Byron for sending signed books for our family group! Receiving gifts like this not only helps the kids feel valued but also helps them gain skills (language, empathy and more) for their future. #refugeeswelcome❤️

More refugees and asylum seekers are benefitting from our activities than ever. While this demand proves the value of our work, the escalating costs are not sustainable. So we're looking for monthly donors to help keep us on the rails ... coastal walk/ woodland path! localgiving.org/donation/fen...

Yesterday, the Government published its #BorderSecurityAsylumAndImmigrationBill "The Rwanda plan is gone for good, along with some of the more draconian and wantonly cruel elements of the Illegal Migration Act. However, this was not the fundamental shift in tide and tone we'd hoped for"

We took our annual trip to see Canary Wharf’s #Winterlights on Saturday. From glowing orbs, to singing installations, it was quite the spectacle. But the seagulls swirling like whirlpools above, lit by the lights, stole the show! #refugeeswelcome

On Sunday our families had an absolute blast at Stanley Arts - getting creative by decorating gingerbread houses—taking cues from the iconic Stanley Arts’ stained glass, intricate tiles, and even its flowerpot-covered roof! The results? Edible works of art. #refugeeswelcome #Londonforeveryone

Our final ramble of the year saw us back on the Parkland Walk, an old railway line turned nature reserve. It was amazing to have such a big, lively group - swinging on ropes and fighting with leaves! Our walks may be in hibernation but 2024 has plenty more in store! #refugeeswelcome
