George's story reinforces the need to strengthen safe resettlement schemes for migrants to make a life in the UK.
Thank you to

A Syrian migrant who fled death and discrimination for being gay says settling in the UK 'saved his life'.
But George claims the government and society must do more to welcome migrants who want to contribute to their new home.
