About Us

Thousand 4 £1000 is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission in the UK (charity registration number 1171590).

Our aim is to be a community response to enforced homelessness amongst forced migrants. We pool small donations from hundreds of people to provide housing and other support to migrants who would otherwise be destitute.

Why we are needed

Thousand 4 £1000 has been set up so that if you are caught on the wrong side of the immigration rules, you can find a home. We hope to be able to do more to change the hostile environment to a welcoming one through small acts of solidarity.

Mind the GAP — T4K April Update

It is the May Day bank holiday. It is officially summer. It was also, of course, the International Workers’ Day. You can dance round the maypole raise the red flag, or indeed both if that is your bent. In one of many highly ineffective and somewhat ludicrous actions, I once danced around a maypole outside of GAP. We were apparently highlighting their exploitation of garment workers. Ah youth… Confusingly though this is our April newsletter. It will though mainly contain use of upcoming events. Perhaps it should be the May newsletter. Time is an illusion (and lunchtime doubly so).

Sharing our Feasts — T4K March 26 Update

Chag Pesach Sameach (slightly early), Eid Mubarak (slightly late) and happy Easter (when it comes). It is not just been a busy month for religious folk (and loudmouth politicians who seem to have a problem with some, but not all, public displays of belief). It has also been a busy month at Thousand 4 1000.
