Refugees welcome in Herefordshire.

Offer to home 50 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.

This is encouraging new from Herefordshire Council. Perhaps now is the time to hand in the petition to show our support.

Hi everyone. Thanks to one & all for supporting this petition. What an excellent response getting over 850 signatures in just a week, out of the 620+ local petitions, ours is among the top 10%. It goes to show that compassion is alive & well in our Shire. To increase the impact of the campaign, it would be fantastic if we could pass the 1000 signature mark. Could I ask everyone to share, or re-share the post in order we might reach as many folk as possible. Thanks again. Kip.
