In March 2022, I'm going to be rowing on a machine for almost 50k metres, which is equivalent to the distance between Dover and Calais , in support of migrant communities. Im doing this because Im upset by the increasingly hostile environment for migrants in the UK, and I want to do something about it. Over the past few months weve seen the government push for new laws that could land people in prison just for seeking safety in this country. And weve seen the media continue to use migrants as scapegoats, stoking xenophobia and racism. People who have come here to make it their home should be able to put down roots and thrive. Instead, too many are left without basic rights, and demonised by politicians and the media. That's why I'm raising funds for the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI). Their legal team helps get people off deportation flights, out of detention, back to their homes and families. And they campaign to scrap the hostile environment, and inject a bit of humanity back into our system. Thank you for your support!
