Nowhere Safe.Publi

In 2024 and 2025, at least 22 children were killed on the UK-France border. Thousands more endured repeated and compounding violence - during crossing attempts, in evictions from living sites, and through the systematic denial of basic needs. 

Our reports from July 2025 and Febuary 2026 centre the voices and experiences of the children we have worked with to trace the policy and funding decisions which gave rise to this violence, and to make the case for accountability and urgent change. 

We are calling for the UK to launch an inquiry into its spending at the border, to mirror that already underway in France. Read the reports, and get involved in our campaign:

Play

Play supports children's emotional, social, and cognitive development. In our regular sessions, children access safe, structured spaces to build resilience, process experiences, and reclaim a sense of normality.

Parental Support

Strong parent-child relationships are essential to children's wellbeing, especially during displacement. We support caregivers to strengthen these bonds through dedicated time, space, and practical tools.

Case Work

Displaced children often lack access to consistent professional support. Our case work identifies needs, aims to reduce risk and connects children with appropriate services and safeguarding networks.
