Now is the time for a fair new plan for refugees. We are proud to be part of Together With Refugees as we launch a campaign calling on political leaders to commit to a plan for refugees that is fair, kind and gets the system working again, for everyone. Ahead of the House of Commons vote tomorrow on the legislation surrounding the cruel Rwanda scheme, the time couldn’t be more right to call for a kinder, fairer alternative 🧡 Find out more here 🔗 https://rb.gy/ckb4sp #fairbeginshere #RefugeesWelcome

Noah's Story
“Boaz is more than accommodation or food - it is about giving people hope.” - Noah* Our Christmas film is here! 🎉🎥 We’re so grateful to Noah for sharing his experiences of seeking safety in the UK with us. In the midst of a political landscape that has felt more hostile than ever in 2023, we hope that this film inspires you, encourages you - and moves you to action. Your gift to our Christmas Appeal could mean a home for someone who would otherwise be facing destitution. It could mean the warmth of being supported and seen as a whole person - not as a number, a problem or a threat. It could mean hope for someone who can no longer see a way to carry on. Give today at boaztrust.org.uk/noah 🏡 Please do also comment, engage and share this film with your networks so that we can continue to open our doors to more people like Noah 🧡 #EndDestitution #OpenTheDoors #RefugeesWelcome #Christmas #TogetherWithRefugees 🎥 Film Credit: Stone Barrell *Name changed

Our asylum system can leave people destitute, without support, without hope. Before she came to Boaz, Aimee* spent a period of several months homeless, forced to find a place to sleep wherever she could. It was an experience that eroded her sense of self-worth and led to her developing depression and anxiety. Watch this short poem written and performed by Aimee about her experience and how it impacted her mental health. *Name changed #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #refugeementalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #refugeeswelcome #togetherwithrefugees #refugeesupport #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #wellbeing
