Helpers Promise

Our Helpers Promise responses highlight widespread support for people seeking safety in our communities.

Recent local election results suggest public attitudes towards migration are becoming more hostile. But there is still reason for hope. We asked our supporters to pledge to support those fleeing persecution and seeking safety in our communities, and the response has been incredible. As we celebrate Refugee Week, the theme of courage reminds us that showing solidarity and standing up for what’s right is a shared act, and one we can see reflected across many of our communities.

This commitment to survivors is: 

I promise to hear you as you speak your truth.

I promise to honour the strength that carried you this far and now guides you forward.

I promise to keep fighting for a world free from torture.
