Campaigning

With over 350 other organisations we’re calling for a better approach to supporting refugees that is kinder, fairer and more effective.

Words from a visitor

“The strength of people seeking asylum is humbling: their resourcefulness, courage coming here and not being welcomed or believed. There is a sense of personal responsibility and respect and not letting each other down.”

John

SWVG, no words are enough describe what you are to me. You’re my best friend. You’re my family. You gave me hope when I had no hope. You gave me strength to go on in this trying moment. All your visitors are awesome.
