Had such a lovely time, a safe place to explore current issues. A journey of Hope ☺️

It was a real pleasure to speak with Phoebe (a brilliant freelance drama facilitator and director), Mohammed (a talented musician) and Fadi (a craftsman and passionate volunteer)- both members of Asylum Link Merseyside. Tune into this important @PRAN_Action episode! Coming soon!

This woman holding up her 'Hope, not hate' sign with men shouting in her face is becoming the iconic image of tonight's riot in Southport. We tried to speak to her straight after shooting the video but she looked traumatised and didn't want to talk.

What is happening 🥺

🚨 BREAKING: The protest in Southport is turning into a riot. We've seen bricks thrown through the local mosque's window and a police van is burning. Several people - including officers - have been hurt. People are shouting at the police for protecting "disgusting nonces".

I am lost for words 😢

Everyone rioting in Southport tonight has terrified hundreds of kids, who are already terrified. They’ve thrown bottles and smashed stuff all over a town in mourning. You are all a disgrace. The poor families must be mortified on top of their grief. Gutted

What a beautiful and moving piece ❤️ 'Afloat' is a collection of real stories by people with lived experiences of seeking asylum, and an amazing example of how teathre can contribute to make a difference. Congratulations everyone 👏👏👏 #theatreforsocialchange

'Afloat' tonight was simply wonderful. A reminder of why community matters. Welcome everyone, not just for what they offer you, but because it is the kind and fair thing to do. The ensemble were divine! Congratulations to the cast and team @AsylumLink @phoebemcsweeney 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
