Thanks to our packs project partner in Birmingham for this wonderful feedback about our arrival packs. Separated children arrive in the UK alone and exhausted. An arrival pack offers warmth, comfort and dignity. 🧡 Thank you to everyone who makes our work possible.

This is it! The last day of our countdown to Christmas and a celebration of our top 24 memories of 2024. And what a way to finish with some words from the amazing young people we're privileged enough to work with. 'Be just you and enjoy yourself.'
