Help us stop asylum support cuts
Refugee Action have launched a new campaign to stop the government from cutting asylum support rates - a move which will unfairly impact on some of the poorest and most vulnerable in our society, including lone parents with dependent children, and young people.
We have written to all MPs in England to ask for their support in stopping the cuts, and so far hundreds of you have written to the immigration minister, asking him to stop penalising the poorest.
Check out news coverage of the cuts in the Independent and a far from sympathetic story in the Daily Mail.
We need more people to speak out tell the government that putting the squeeze on asylum seekers, who have already escaped terrible circumstances and often lost everything, is simply not acceptable.

 Campaign success on healthcare!
After a great deal of lobbying of MPs by the Still Human Still Here coalition, which includes Refugee Action, the Department of Health have agreed to reinstate free secondary health care to some refused asylum seekers, including families and unaccompanied children. We will continue to campaign for all refused asylum seekers to get full access to healthcare. |
