Many hands…

An exiraordinary year In May 2020, Jocob wrote in our newsletter Ihal -Ihe greal Jewish philosopher Moimonides laughl that if you live isolaled and alone and you meet o hungry person, you need to provide her with a meal. But. if you meel her in the city, you need lo provide her with an olive's worth of food." countries lo share their ex￿rienceS ond di5CUSS the meaning of migration lor their lives and work. Conlinued to raise funds from hundreds of monthly donations, in order lo provide secure housing for migionls and refugees whose ability lo renl a home is limited by Ihe Brilish governmenfs'hoslile enviionmenf policy. Our income from monthly donalions stood al £2.500 per monlh by the end of the year. During Ihe year, we celebrated wilh severol of our resident5 who won their leove lo remain or were able to move on from our accommodation. You can read some of their slories on pages 4 and 5 of this Teport. This is the principle behind T4K Ihal a community. by pooling ils spare iesouices. can easily moke room for new orrivals who need a hand. And Ihal in luin. everyone who joins o community slienglhens il. During 202t>21. we wilnessed an extraordinary growlh of mutual support and kindness all over the UK, in response lo a virus which reminded u￿n Ihe mosl terrible way-ol Ouf shared vulnerability. T4K responded swiftly to the pandemic. with an expansion and inlensificalion of our work. During 202t>21 we.. Raised £23.698 through our emergency Covid appeol, which enabled us lo provide regular financiol and practicol support to 100 individuals in the city, who would othe￿ise have been destitute Supplied 3.461 masks lo help people protect each other from infection and raise additional funds for our work. The masks were made by one of our residenls, who was paid for her lime and has now launched her own sewing and olteralions business (see page 4). Provided reliable broadband internel for 5 shared houses where asylum seekers had been ploced by the Home Office. See page 6 for a report by one of our volunteers on whol Ihis means for the people living in Ihe accommodalion.

An inhospiiable welcome The Home Office provides basic accommodation in shared houses for people who are wailing for a decision on their asylum claim. By Ihe end of the year, there were five of these "NASS- houses in Brighlon & Hove. They ore managed by two private oulsourced agencies (Migrant Help ond Cleorspring Ready Homes). There is no internel conneclion included under the conlrocl wilh the Home Office. As we feel that access lo Ihe inlernel is obsolutely essential for ony kind of -inclusion" we raised funds to pay for Ihis for each house. The residents are extremely gralelul for this (see poge 6). We also bought eoch house extra blankets and portable healers during a very cold snap in Januory (Ihonks to o granl from Brighton & Hove City Council) and supplied tablets lor residents who needed them to access the inleinet. Several of us have also laken responsibility for being o contact person for each house, as it appeared Ihol. particularly during lockdown. Ihey were having gieal difficulty conlacling the managing agents if any domestic problems occurred.11 lurned out Ihol quite a number were experiencing difficulties in attending doctor's and lawyer's appoinlmenls where Iiansport was necessary. due to Iheir very smoll weekly allowance of £49, and we were pleased to be able to help oul financially. At Christmas, os o nod to the festive season, we decided lo lake each household a "hamper of goodies.. dales. ch(xolates. olive oil. loilelries. candles and o Brighton calendoT and, wilh Covid reslriclions in mind, a small group delivered them wilh a burst of Yulelide singingl The hamper was appreciated even if the singing wasn'ti An absoluie lifeline AS is an asylum seeker awaiting his inteNiew for Leave lo Remain. He has been moved a couple of times from other cities in the UK. so when he came to Brighlon on New Year's Eve. he wos very unsettled as he had losl many of the friendships and support nelwoiks he'd made along the way. The NASS house where he is housed has no WiFi - it's not part of Ihe housing providers remit to provide Ihis- so with AS'S limited access to funds. he was unable lo keep in touch wilh his community or make new connections in Ihe city. T4K were able lo provide WiFi for all of the residenls in his house, which hus been an absolute lifeline. AS con access online English closses, keep in louch with his legal team, watch TV- a vital means lo relax and occupy his lime- along wilh all the other necessities Ihol come from living in a virtual world. In May, there was a problem with the WiFi for o couple of weeks when il was accidentally disconnecled. and during this time our volunteer noticed AS'S menlal health deleriorole. Without being able lo make Ihose essential connections or have Ihe ability to switch off and relax. he became very upset. The problems he'd encountered in his country of origin. as well os his journey lo the UK. loomed large.. he felt even les5 in control of his welfare. and il wos on extremely distressing time for him. When the WiFi was fixed. he quickly became less cul off and unhappy. Of course. having WiFi doesn'l make his problems disoppear, but il is so necessary lo feeling connecled as well os helping him aC￿sS the basics such a5 healthcare. which most of us toke for granled.
