Help keep the Okpara family safe in Sheffield! Their application for asylum has been poorly handled and consequently they have been issued deporation papers. If forced to return to Nigeria their lives will be at risk and they will not be safe. In Sheffield they are embedded in our community and the children are content and happy members of their school. Both community and school would be devastated if the family were deported. Hear and read Mildred Okpara's blog here.
Thank you to all those who joined the Rally on Saturday, 25th September outside Shefffield Town Hall.
