So long as there
are men, women and children who are psychologically terrorised 24 hours a day
in prison or by the prospect of being sent to one, so long as there are people
who are terrified they’re going to be turned out onto the streets with nothing
at all, each of us has got work to do: whether your working in a charity seeing
people face to face everyday who walk into our surgeries or our projects with
their faces as if the ground beneath them has been taken away; whether it’s the
teacher making daily calls and lone journeys to Dungavel to reassure a 10 year
old child who used to be in her class; whether its offering a space to someone
to sleep for a night or two, whether its organising a meeting to oppose
evictions or the detention of innocents...
You can do something -

support - Make a stand and show your support, add your

2. Give money
to the Dungavel Bail Fund which will assist in
providing bail for families detained inside Dungavel as well as provide hardship
funds to those made absolutely destitute.

3. Offer a bail
address: if you would like to help someone get released from Dungavel, you
can offer a bail address at your accommodation.
offer a bail address now.
4. Offer a bed
space to a destitute refugee: Refugees whose appeals are unsuccessful have
their money and accommodation taken away. This is leading to people being made
absolutely destitute with no recourse to public funds, i.e. all they are
entitled to is a bowl of soup and a blanket.
offer a bed space now.
