Profile

Campaigning for the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. We are currently supporting the still human still here campaign, which calls for an end to the destitution of asylum seekers many of whom are forced into destitution. We organise speaker events, fundraising band nights and encourage volunteering with local asylum charities, for example through food collections.
We have close links with the Oxford University Amnesty International group and often hold joint events and campaigns with them.
