From Falkirk to Aberdeen, Dundee to Inverness. Far right groups are attending anti-asylum protests across Scotland.
We spent three months investigating. People doxxed, attacked, threatened. And communities standing firm.

You’ve got £9.95 to last you the whole week… what’s your plan?
This impossible choice is played out in asylum hotels. Whilst people await a decision on their claim, they are banned from working & receive just £9.95 for clothes, travel, data & more.
This is not luxury. This is a hellish limbo.

In the last couple of weeks, our participants on the Connect Outdoors programme have taken on the challenges of climbing Beinn Dubh, and exploring Kirkton Glen near Balquhidder. The group showed great spirit and determination throughout, overcoming wind, rain and midges to enjoy two fantastic hikes!
