Refugees welcome in Bridlington

Offer to home 10 refugee families in our town and surrounding area.

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 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.

Well, my son helped me get another entry on Facebook if you'd care to take a look. It only went on last night so I've only got one more signature since then! Though as regards small towns, we do have more signatures than several other small towns, which is heartening! Here is a link to my Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/barbara.atherton.54/posts/10206626842142722

Thank you so much for signing. We have not had a very big response (22 signatories so far) but it is going in the Free Press this week and just maybe we will get up to 100 which is where we need to be before presenting it to Council or having an 'event''.

Have sent word to the Free Press. Fingers crossed it gets published in next Thurs' edition! (38 Degrees make it so easy; they are great.)

Thanks for signing. Barbara
