🌍 On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we reflect on the lovely words shared in our Men’s Art Workshops with KCL: “Love is kind.” These words perfectly embody our values since 1992 - supporting and empowering migrants and refugees with kindness and respect.

On Tuesday, our incredible Champions came together for a powerful session on knowledge for changemaking. 💫

They reflected on the most important issues affecting their communities and shared how they see decisions and change taking shape from their own perspectives. 🌍💬

What an inspiring night of community power in action! 💥

It was amazing to join hundreds of leaders at the South London Citizens Assembly to celebrate wins on Housing, the Living Wage and Migrant Justice, and to call on NHS and local authority decision-makers to go further.
