“The Place for Refugees in the Big Society” - LRV AGM 8th December
“The Place for Refugees in the Big Society” 8th December 2010
12pm – 4pm
Venue: The Scott Room, Oxford House, Derbyshire Street, Bethnal Green, London E2 6HG.
“The Big Society is that something different and bold. It’s about saying if we want real change for the long-term, we need people to come together and work together – because we’re all in this together.”
– The Prime Minister David Cameron
“If the ‘Big Society’ is to mean anything it surely must include asylum seekers, refugees and indeed all migrants. For me this will be the crucial test of how big it really is……If we are serious about creating a ‘Big Society’ then it does need to be big, inclusive and involve all the elements of our society.”
- Jonathan Ellis, Director of Policy and Development, Refugee Council
