Welcome, welcome to the UK ! Your struggle and experience of terrible hardship touches our hearts deeply. It shows us here just how lucky we are and not to be complacent in our fast changing world. We hope you find compassion and security here to build a new life. Of course it’s not perfect here but there are many wonderful things about living in the UK. It has to be one of the most tolerant open-minded and humane countries on the planet, reason and fairness its foundations. We have much to learn from you too and it’s a chance to show how humane we are and not just with hollow words. Don’t be upset if at first you are not accepted by some people and know that the vast majority of people here are full of huge admiration for you and welcome you 100% ! Wishing you continued courage for the best possible future. With love
