I came to the UK in 1973, but because of Windrush I became homeless and got charged £54000 for my cancer treatment. With Praxis I could speak with the media about my situation: it felt like a roller coaster, but it worked.

Two years ago I lost my job because of issues with my immigration status. I felt like I was facing a wall, I had no hope in front of me, I could only think about my problems. Thanks to Praxis this is now part of my past.

I was a victim of Windrush. With no papers to prove that I was legal in the UK, I couldn’t work or have a bank account and was homeless for years. After Praxis helped me it felt like I was coming alive again.

This statement responds to The Observer article detailing the Home Office's plans to gather information on non-UK rough sleepers through homelessness charities through an initiative known as the Rough Sleeper Support Service (RSSS).

On 2 July Praxis housing project won an award for the innovative and effective way it supports migrant families and women at risk of homelessness and destitution.

On 17 June we will walk together alongside thousands of people supporting access to free, high quality legal advice in the UK.

“While the compensation scheme is welcome overall, the process must be fair and accessible. As it stands, the new compensation scheme for victims of the Windrush scandal risks adding serious insult to serious injury.” Oped by Praxis CEO Sally Daghlian in The Guardian

Thousands of people have donated to the Guardian and Observer Charity Appeal, raising an incredible £1.1 million which will be distributed between five charities including Praxis. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, support and heart-warming messages that you sent us during the appeal.

Praxis housing project, hosting migrant women and families in eight houses across London in collaboration with Commonweal housing, is one of the finalists for the World Habitat Awards.

We are extremely excited and proud to announce that Praxis has been chosen by The Guardian and The Observer as a beneficiary of their annual Charity Appeal, for our work bringing the Windrush scandal and the Home Office injustices to light.

The government’s apology to 18 people from the Caribbean who were wrongfully detained and removed from the UK as part of the Windrush scandal is a step in the right direction, but rings rather hollow given the true scale and nature of the underlying problems.

We are delighted and proud to announce that Praxis Community Projects has been shortlisted by the Third Sector Awards for our work uncovering the Windrush Scandal, holding the Home Office accountable and protecting migrants' rights.

This has been an exciting time to be at Praxis - we have been at the centre of exposing the Windrush scandal and the impact of the ‘hostile environment’ on people who have lost their jobs, homes and like ‘Albert Thomson’ been denied vital medical treatment because the Home Office refused to recognize their lawful residence.

We are very grateful for the incredible support we’ve received in the past few days. Many people have donated to help the work that Praxis is doing, supporting migrants at-risk throughout London such as Albert.
