Support our campaign's emergency food and toiletries deliveries to Urban House.
We are distributing food and hygiene packs every two weeks to everyone in Urban House. Support our emergency distributions. With your help and support we are aiming to go there every week.
270 people are forced to live in poor, unsanitary conditions in Urban House hostel, Wakefield.
People have been placed there by the UK Home Office and the Mears Group manages the property as part of their their £1.15 billion contracts for asylum housing.
Residents are forced to share rooms with strangers, forced to share dirty toilets and showers, even during the COVID-19 lock-down. Many people have illnesses making them at risk of catching the virus.
Pregnant women are still in Urban House, there is no special food and little fresh fruit for them. 15 children: 4 toddlers, 4 children under ten, and young teenagers live there. Toddlers are given spicy food – no special food for children. No toast or cereals for breakfast.
(This breakfast EVERY DAY. )
(This burnt, spicy pizza served to children on February 25th. )
