I would appreciate if you could encourage family and friends to read #TheLightlessSky so they can get a better understanding of the refugee struggles and story. So we can all humanise the debate and discussion on the subject of asylum, migration and protection. #WithRefugees

Mourning the loss of Leeds Bereavement Forum. It was a shining example of a small charity that punched way above its weight. Thank you Jane and team, what a legacy you leave!
