    Help us to welcome Refuweegees to Glasgow by building Welcome Packs! 🎒💌 These bags full of toiletries & other wee treats are given to recently arrived families & individuals, to help them feel at home in their new city. Here’s a wee thread to make donating simple & impactful.

    We have never, ever, EVER met a single person who has arrived in the UK who has been given clothing by the @ukhomeoffice. EVER. It is why we & multiple other community organisations provide free clothing to people as often as we can.
    Replying to @ukhomeoffice
    The spending in Primark was for asylum seekers who would have not had appropriate clothing when arriving in the UK. We are committed to delivering the best value for money for the British taxpayer, making sure every pound is spent in the most effective way.

    Wednesday night was nothing short of magical 💚 Thank you so much to @FoundationCFC for gifting us with 32 tickets to the Celtic game v St Mirren. Here’s a wee snippet of last nights game & the smiles that a night at the football with friends and family can create 🫶

    This was special in so many ways. For some, it was their first time stepping foot in a stadium, and for others it was a night to rekindle their love for a sport that started back in their home country. We may have a Refuweegee Celtic Supporters Club on our hands… ⚽️

    He arrived in Glasgow with his young family just 5 weeks ago. They haven't been able to explore because of the weather & not having warm clothes, appropriate footwear or a much needed double buggy. They now have all of those things. You've delivered again everyone, thank you.

    Horrified by these scenes on Eid of all days but heartened by the community's response. Thank you to everyone who is standing firm with these individuals 🖤 We can make a difference!
    Anti-deportation protest on Kenmure Street in Pollokshields. Immigration van is ringed by police and protesters. “These are our neighbours. Let them go.”

    Pipe down you absolute roaster. Lies that you think it's horrible, lies that anyone can be illegal and lies that hotels are filling up. You're full of shite @Nigel_Farage.
    Horrible tragedy in a Glasgow Hotel housing illegal immigrants. All over the UK, hotels are filling up with young men who are coming across the Channel every day. It is a massive risk to our wellbeing — yet the government does nothing.

    Sorting through the donations from the #celtic game at the wknd. Is there a rule that you can only buy green toiletries #celticfans? 😉
