For families displaced during Syria’s long crisis, support to restore damaged homes is crucial to ensuring a dignified return, and the start of rebuilding their lives

This mosque in Liverpool is an inspiration. We have far more in common than that which divides us. Community solidarity, always.
We opened the doors of the mosque a week after protesters came outside, and we invited them to come and talk with us. The event went amazingly well, some of those who protested were here, in addition to many other curios members of our society. We were asked tough questions

Amidst terrible news this week, we are thrilled at the fresh hope that the government's Afghan resettlement scheme will be opened for family reunions. Here's the story of Muhammad, who was separated from his family after they fled the Taliban in 2021. 👇 https://t.co/whBqIhUJRH

The man says a resettlement scheme means he could see his family for the first time in three years.

This is what real community looks like. In the wake of appalling violence, hateful thugs used a community's grief to push racism & division. But this is how the real Southport have responded. Compassion triumphs over hatred. These acts reflect the true spirit of our nation.
