The Diaspora Support Network supports the resettlement of foreign national detainees who are deported to their countries of origin and unlocks their potential to positively contribute, build and sustain their communities. As well as providing this support to individuals who are facing deportation from the UK (deportation following a criminal conviction, as opposed to administrative removal), they also run outreach sessions aimed at anyone who is having an immigration problem related to potential deportation of themselves or a family member who is a foreign national who may be in prison or in a removal centre. DSN aims to provide them with details on where they can get support in the UK and in their home country.
These outreach sessions are run on the first Saturday of every month, at the Carnegie Library, 188 Herne Hill Road, London, SE24 0AG. The venue can be accessed from Loughborough Junction rail station (10 minute walk) or from the P4 bus which stops immediately outside the Library. This bus can be accessed opposite Brixton underground station. See info here.
NCADC workshop at DSN session
Saturday 1 March 2014
11am - 2pm
NCADC is running a workshop aimed at people facing deportation following a criminal conviction, or family members/friends/supporters of people facing deportation.
The workshop will be on:
- what campaigning for the right to remain in the UK means
- what campaigning can achieve, and what it can’t
- lessons learned from campaigners and local groups across the UK
- how activists and local groups can work together to support individuals in their communities
The workshop is free, but places are limited so it is essential to book in advance. Please email [email protected] to confirm your attendance, and tell us very briefly why you would like to attend/your background in this area.
Refreshments will be provided.
