Brighton Poem-a-thon · 11 December 2016

The Refugee Council is the nation’s refugee charity. Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain.

Story

Another December, another poem-a-thon for refugees. This is the second  I've taken part in, & the situation for refugees worldwide & in the UK is even worse now.  Using my poetry to fundraise for refugee charities feels like the least I can do.  I used to work at the Refugee Council, and I know how vital their work is, campaigning for a better government response as well as supporting people already here.  I hope my friends and colleagues will be able to sponsor my 10-minute reading again.
