🚨 It's time to repeal the Illegal Migration Act.

We’ve already seen increased demand to our services in 2024, heightened by the hostile environment & its consequences for young refugees. By giving regularly, no matter the amount, you could help us plan & respond to urgent issues affecting young people: youngroots.org.uk/be-1-in-100

On #WorldArtDay we’re looking back at brilliant artwork by young people at our activities. We’re so pleased to collaborate with organisations including Kazzum Arts 🧡 Talitha Arts Babylon project Art Refuge 🧡 who support young people to explore art through person-centred sessions.
