Saturday, 20th June was World Refugee Day — and the situation facing refugees in Britain has never been more urgent. Children are being wrongly detained in prison-like conditions. Families are trapped in limbo, unable to work or plan for the future. And a wave of restrictive laws and policies is making it harder than ever for people fleeing war and persecution to find the safety they desperately need. In this special programme, we sat down with Liam Allmark, Head of Communications, Fundraising and Advocacy at the Jesuit Refugee Service UK, to cut through the political noise and get to the heart of what is really happening — and what needs to change. We talk about JRS UK's landmark Welcome the Stranger campaign, the shocking findings of their latest briefing on children in detention, the human cost of a system that forces people to live in permanent uncertainty, and the role faith communities can play in turning solidarity into action. This is not just a policy conversation. It is a conversation about human dignity — and about the kind of country we choose to be. What we cover:The Welcome the Stranger campaign and its core demandsChildren wrongly detained under the UK-France schemeThe psychological toll of living in the asylum systemHow the Church and faith communities can respondWhere hope lives on World Refugee DayTo get involved with the campaign, visit jrsuk.net/defend-asylum#WorldRefugeeDay #RefugeeRights #JRSUK #WelcomeTheStranger #DefendAsylum #PodcastPlease consider supporting us with a one-off or monthly donation.
