Amazing charities like Housing Justice Cymru who run hosting projects for refugees are seeing a sharp rise in referrals due to Home Office changes to the move-on process.
These changes must be reversed to ensure further homelessness & destitution does not occur as we move into winter ⏲️❄️
**AGE ASSESSMENT CASES**
We are seeing some shocking age assessment cases for young refugees in hotels in Bham and other parts of the UK.
We would like to hear from others working on these cases and discuss ways forward.
