Faith and Belief Roundtable – Migration and Homelessness

Faith and Belief organisations and networks contribute in many different ways to society, especially to those most disadvantaged. This includes people experiencing homelessness as well as those seeking asylum, refugees and other migrants, many of whom are facing such challenging times. For those who face barriers to mainstream or local authority services, for example if they have no recourse to public funds, it is often Faith and Belief that people turn to. They are trusted, embedded in communities in a unique way and can offer spiritual, emotional and practical advice, guidance and care.
