SARAH WELCOMES CHILD REFUGEES

Sarah Champion MP is urging constituents to write a welcome message for lone child refugees arriving in the UK. Almost 2,000 unaccompanied children have arrived this year, many of whom have fled wars and persecution and Save the Children's campaign calls on the public to write messages, which will be printed in books to help these children learn English and to integrate in their new communities. Sarah said: "I'm delighted to support Save the Children's campaign to welcome child refugees. These children have been through so much - fleeing conflict and persecution. I'm glad that the UK can help provide them with a safe home and a fresh start."
