A massive thank you to everyone who's helped in the past few weeks from all of us involved in the Child M campaign.

This is a great result ~ the campaign for their right to remain in the UK continues.

We'll update the website as soon as more details become available.

Oxford Workshop: Campaigning to Stay, Campaigning for Sanctuary

Date: Tuesday 19th January ~ Time: 2:00 - 5:00pm

Location: Garden Room, Friends Meeting House, 43 St Giles, Oxford.

Does your organisation work with asylum seekers? Are you interested in informing and supporting individuals in setting up anti-deportation campaigns? Are you an asylum seeker who wants to campaign for your own case and that of others?

The National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns (NCADC) has got together with Oxford City of Sanctuary to host a workshop in an informal environment with the aim of exploring what campaigning options there are for people facing deportation.

We will look at:

planning a successful campaign
the roles of solicitors vs. supporters
MPs and the Media
having a local /regional campaign network
how you could hold similar workshops

Participants should be:

· a person facing deportation or working directly with those facing deportation

· familiar with the asylum process and the experience of those facing deportation

· committed to passing on and disseminating what you gain in the workshop

· committed to the possibility of a regional anti-deportation network

This event is free, but places are limited, to book a place please email  katie@ncadc.org.uk.
