Call for a Public Inquiry Thank you for signing the call for a public inquiry into the housing crisis affecting people seeking asylum in Glasgow. We have gathered almost 3,500 signatures. Read the detailed demands here and add your name in support. Here is a timeline of the deadly accommodation crisis in Glasgow. Refugees and asylum seekers are human beings – not Amazon parcels to be shifted without consequence: Read more articles on our blog We need new refugee hosts in Glasgow and London! We are struggling to get hosts to offer shelter in Glasgow and London, and elsewhere across Scotland and the U.K. especially because of Covid 19. In London, our referral partners to Room for Refugees are seeing really vulnerable people , young people, the elderly and sick being made destitute. Please offer a spare room or property to help a destitute refugee or asylum seeker family, individual or child resolve their crisis, just fill-in this form. More info here. Humans of Glasgow Project We now have over 180 members on our Humans of Glasgow Volunteer Network, helping in practical ways to get support to those in greatest need. The Network was invaluable when our members distributed food and practical help in the aftermath of the Park Inn tragedy. To join up, see our Call to Action.
