THIS WEEK
Does Britain hate Refugees? (or is it just the Government?)
Sara Nathan,
OBE
We came; should they? The refugee challenge - How hosting helps.
Sara co-founded Refugees at Home in 2015: a charity which matches generous hosts with asylum-seekers and refugees across the UK. It has now hosted for nearly 500,000 individual person nights. In 2022 it rose to meet the challenge of hosting Ukrainians, while continuing to aid those fleeing other conflicts. She has, herself, hosted 42
asylum-seekers and refugees.
A volunteer at her synagogue’s asylum-seeker drop-in for over ten years, Sara started a similar project in Acton last year, which helps over 100 people a week and is increasingly focused on those evicted from Home Office accommodation.
A broadcast
journalist for the BBC and ITV, as Editor of Channel 4 News, she became the first woman to edit a network news programme in the UK.
She was awarded her OBE for fairness and services to broadcasting.
Serving on a dazzling number of prestigious public appointments panels, tribunals, regulatory bodies and advisory committees, she has actually helped to appoint Kings Counsel and Judges.
She is married to the composer and conductor, Malcolm Singer, has two children, two grand-children and
two more on the way.
