Our people
The passion and drive among our people are the root of everything we do.

Profit Over People: When will our government choose compassion over capitalism? 🤨

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped collect clothing for asylum seekers in Calais, @care4calais #coatsforcalais https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3ldeLFjvP/?igshid=nf34rn1pfuj5
Twenty-nine asylum seekers have died in Home Office accommodation so far this year. A single death is unacceptable. We need accountability and a government who do not criminalise innocent communities.
