SLC's enquiry into Lunar House found that more needed to be done to help customers at Lunar House feel welcome, respected and comfortable.

The Friends of Lunar House, SLC's voluntary welcoming service to asylum seekers at Lunar House, is set to be up and running starting on the 5th of December. So far, twelve volunteers have signed up to be Friends. They will be serving hot and cold beverages, but more importantly will be a friendly face, a listening ear and a welcoming presence for people fleeing oppression in their home countries. For the moment the Friends will be there on Tuesdays from 10am to 1pm. Anyone interested in participating should contact London Citizens.

Housing, youth, living wages, dignity in hospital and immigration are all core issues for our members.

At our annual Assembly members committed to campaign on these issues, building on a tremendous track record that confirms what our communities can do when we organise together. Click for campaign information.
