Mind the GAP — T4K April Update

It is the May Day bank holiday. It is officially summer. It was also, of course, the International Workers’ Day. You can dance round the maypole raise the red flag, or indeed both if that is your bent. In one of many highly ineffective and somewhat ludicrous actions, I once danced around a maypole outside of GAP. We were apparently highlighting their exploitation of garment workers. Ah youth… Confusingly though this is our April newsletter. It will though mainly contain use of upcoming events. Perhaps it should be the May newsletter. Time is an illusion (and lunchtime doubly so).

Sharing our Feasts — T4K March 26 Update

Chag Pesach Sameach (slightly early), Eid Mubarak (slightly late) and happy Easter (when it comes). It is not just been a busy month for religious folk (and loudmouth politicians who seem to have a problem with some, but not all, public displays of belief). It has also been a busy month at Thousand 4 1000.

Moving Lives — T4K Jan Update

Happy New Year. I have say that it does feel that 2026 started a very long time ago even if my calendar says that it is still January. Things are tough. The Home Office machine has crept slowly back into gear. They are making decisions, but unlike the last backlog clearing exercise, those decisions are negative and of poor quality. It is overloading the tribunals and there simply isn’t capacity in the legal aid sector to ensure that people have representation. The net result is an awful lot of homelessness. Even when people win, the Home Office want you out of your accommodation in 28 days (if you follow the link, you will see that they do not always get their way. It doesn’t help much). It pushes the burden onto the council. The council will do their best to avoid it, the voluntary sector and the community picks up the pieces.
