BBC Radio 4 appeal
NACCOM has a BBC Radio 4 appeal went out last Sunday, 10th October. The appeal and wider campaign seek to raise funds for and awareness of destitution in the UK asylum system, and the impact this has on the lives of thousands of people each year. Through highlighting the vital work of our members, we want to show that with safe accommodation and the right support, it's possible for people to move forward from destitution and live in safety and dignity.
The appeal is now live and in the public domain on our website here. We are proud to have Lord Alf Dubs presenting the appeal on behalf of the network. Lord Dubs is an inspirational advocate for our cause, and we’re extremely grateful to him for fronting the appeal.
Here are the key details:
- Broadcast date: Sunday 10th October
- Broadcast times: Live – Sunday 10th @ 07.54am and 21.25pm, and again on Thursday 14th Then available to listen again on BBC Sounds via this link.
- Donations: We also have a dedicated BBC appeal page, which will have a link to the broadcast once it’s gone live, and through which people will be able to donate for one week only (Sunday 10th – Saturday 16th) when the appeal is live. After that, those listening on catch-up will have the chance to donate via NACCOM’s website.
We would really appreciate your support in getting the word out as much as possible about the appeal, either before Sunday, on Sunday or next week. It’s been a big piece of work getting the appeal ready and I am so proud that NACCOM have this platform to talk about our network’s collective work.
Many thanks,
Bridget
