Hear the stories behind the headlines. The news is dominated by toxic talk about immigration, but what about the people who make these journeys themselves? From people who have taken dangerous routes to seek safety, to those campaigning for a better system – these are their experiences in their own words. Journey with us on Un/Documented as we explore how storytelling can drive change and create a narrative of hope.

It takes a community

Given the current bleak political landscape of cruel asylum policy, homelessness, and austerity where traumatised people are dehumanised and scapegoated, it’s clear that we need to hold onto a sense of community that keeps us grounded and kind.

At IMIX, we know that stories of successful community integration, local welcome and hospitality can work powerfully to change negative migration narratives. In this episode we speak to Khadeja about her experience of being the first family to be resettled from Syria to North Devon through the Pickwell Foundation’s Community Sponsorship programme and her role now in welcoming others into the area.

We also talk to Helen, a mum of three who set up Hope at Home, a hosting charity that matches people with spare bedrooms with survivors of trafficking and modern slavery who need a temporary place to stay.

Join us on Un/Documented for a well-needed dose of hope by celebrating all the amazing people out there working in our communities to create an atmosphere of welcome.
