We can change things when we stand Together.
On Saturday 28th March, JRS UK will join more than 200 organisations and thousands of people walking through central London with a simple, hopeful conviction: our society is strongest when we choose welcome, dignity, and solidarity.
The Together Alliance March will bring charities, unions, community groups, faith communities and individuals together calling for a future rooted in hope and unity. It will be a joyful, family-friendly event with live music, performances, and activities for children.
We are marching because the landscape for people seeking sanctuary in the UK is becoming increasingly hostile.
Recent and proposed policy changes threaten the ability of refugees to rebuild their lives even after their need for protection is recognised. For people still navigating the system, many will face prolonged destitution, reduced avenues of justice, and an asylum system that may increasingly wrongly refused protection to people who urgently need safety.

This environment is made even more challenging by the rise in inflammatory public language and the misuse of Christian narratives to justify anti-immigration rhetoric.
“The Gospel’s call to love our neighbour demands solidarity from us”
– Dr Sophie Cartwright
As a Catholic and Jesuit organisation, we are walking because our faith compels us to uphold the dignity of every person – especially people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes. We’ll be walking the march alongside other faith communities to proclaim a justice-led, Gospel-rooted message: every person is created in the image of God, deserving of welcome, compassion, and safety.
“The Lord Jesus and his saving Gospel calls us to welcome the stranger, listening to their stories with love and compassion… let’s remember that it is in welcoming those in need that we encounter the face of Christ.”
– Archbishop John Wilson
