I joined T4K because my parents were refugees escaping from the Nazis, and the UK gave them refuge. Without that I would not be here. The current climate is so antagonistic towards refugees and asylum seekers that I felt I must do something to counter it.
The Home Office makes seeking refuge here incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for such people, and charities like T4K, and the volunteers that run it, are vital in defending and championing their cause.
