Refugees Welcome in Bognor Regis

Offer to home 25 refugee families

Why is this important?

Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.

Yet our prime minister has just said ‘we won't take any more refugees’. He thinks that most of us don't care. But 38 Degrees members do care. We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria.

So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.

I've just checked and seen that we've got over 100 signatures! Thanks so much for taking the time to sign and for sharing the petition on social media.

Keep up the good work!

Perhaps we can persuade our town council to offer help and sanctuary to at least a few families.

If there are any landlords with houses/Flats that are willing or able to let refugees rent from them there is a website giving details of what they are after (the EU has a grant to pay for rents but they do need long leases)

Thanks again you lovely people :)
