A message to our families

Wednesday 7 August 2024

You will have seen and perhaps even witnessed escalating acts of violence in Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Hull, Belfast, Stoke and other cities across the UK this weekend.

We wanted to reach out and acknowledge that many of the families we support are being affected by these events and feel unsafe, fearful and vulnerable in their communities as a result of these disgraceful and violent actions. At Contact please be assured that we are here for every family that needs us.

We also wanted to share some resources about how to talk to children about scary events and what’s happening in the UK right now:

We also have information on our pages about the support available to refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.
