Team Upbeat Have — And Here's How They Found It - Ruth — Upbeat staff member “As my colleague and I met for training walks, we reflected on how our small 10K paled in comparison to some of the journeys asylum seekers make to seek refuge. We were walking to raise money to support people who had crossed whole countries on foot, boat, van and a variety of unsuitable transport methods, often with small children in tow, leaving family, friends, jobs and all that's familiar behind — at best sacrificing any sort of comfort, at worst risking their lives.” https://www.upbeatcommunities.org/news/2020/10/29/channel-crossings monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1603964095422-L8BZ5GBKUNEPC508PKO6/image-asset.jpeg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Channel Crossings: We Need More Compassion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1603963723346-I2A3DDNYMBHESPW0P3Z1/image-asset.jpeg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Channel Crossings: We Need More Compassion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1603964576077-WHYB796DLCSFDORB33BB/image-asset.jpeg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Channel Crossings: We Need More Compassion https://www.upbeatcommunities.org/news/2020/9/29/resettlement-in-an-unsettling-time monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1601387663205-1J2WQQQSPN7S1RR9W8K4/Ruth+Summerfield.png Upbeat Communities News Blog - Resettlement In An Unsettling Time - What’s it like being a Refugee Resettlement Key Worker during lockdown?

I am leaving this awesome charity and Derby at the end of July to take some time studying comparative theology at the end of this year. I am then looking to relocate abroad at some point in 2021. Obviously, everything is somewhat up in the air right now, so I am holding plans lightly. But I do know for sure that Upbeat has changed me as a person.

As you will see below, our usual activities have been suspended or significantly altered to prevent the spread of the virus, but we are using WhatsApp to stay in touch with participants. We are using this system to send regular encouragements, short videos from staff and volunteers, online English classes on Zoom, craft activities, health advice and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1586253314402-3K588MSIVS3E9923TQ10/IMG_0803.JPG Upbeat Communities News Blog - Supporting Refugees During Challenging Times - Activities We have suspended all activities at our base Overdale House (English classes, meals, social activities, English through the Bible, women's coffee morning, Red Cross drop-in). We have also suspended Firm Foundations (English for families, creative play sessions). We are hoping that WhatsApp will be a way of continuing elements of these activities virtually, and we will be continually reviewing how we can stay connected to people. We are now running English classes, women’s coffee morning and Firm Foundations over Zoom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1586253409415-40RXNVQB3Y4A2599HMP4/IMG_0909.JPG Upbeat Communities News Blog - Supporting Refugees During Challenging Times - Welcome Boxes and mentoring We are still taking Welcome Box referrals but are only offering phone support.

Bike This pink one looks very fetching but not the most practical for what I have in mind. I have a mountain bike with big tyres. It needs to be up to the job of endless laps through the Scottish forest without breaking down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1543407806065-US15704R0GKO2NNY0HSU/gloves.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Sponsor Elliot! - 2. Gloves My hands need to stay warm for the duration of the event. I have liner gloves, several different types of insulated waterproof gloves and lobster claws (which are a cross between mittens and gloves). If it’s raining I could go through a set each lap and as I’m hoping to do more than a couple of laps I’ll need many pairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1543408215061-YKS2E449BBAEJDENID3R/Shoes.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Sponsor Elliot! - 3. Shoes It is going to be freeeeezing but I want to keep my feet from turning blue, so I need some good shoes. Cycling shoes clip into the pedals. I have a few pairs of these as well as a more waterproof ones and neoprene overshoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1543408270492-F7CJ1VS55F0LHVD40MRL/Lights.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Sponsor Elliot! - 4. Lights It’s going to be dark for a long time. Very dark. For a very long time. I need lights to see where I am going. So far I have a dynamo light that runs from a hub dynamo bought from a friend, lights for my helmet, and lights that go on my handlebar borrowed from a friend. Plus lots of rechargeable batteries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1543408421015-PZ1FE80E9BZEXDNNZ46W/WhatsApp+Image+2018-11-09+at+13.20.33.jpeg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Sponsor Elliot! - 5.

Fuel I’m not sure that I will be sitting down for all day breakfasts en route as every second counts. I think I’m far more likely to be relying on quickly digested and rather more bland unpalatable cycling gels. I need to remember to drink enough so I have bought an insulated bottle to keep my water from freezing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1543408707890-LHEI3ZPDG5O0UQ3B34NM/WhatsApp+Image+2018-11-09+at+13.18.20.jpeg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Sponsor Elliot! - 7. Your support I am doing all I can do to get ready for this event. I am working on my fitness, developing my endurance, choosing the best equipment. However. What will keep me going in the middle of the night in sub-zero temperatures is knowing that this endeavour is raising money for families who need support in Derby.

Filmed in black and white in Poland, it tells the true story of Oskar Schindler, who in World War II saved the lives of over one thousand Jewish refugees by employing them in his factory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526992535170-AXUIQ5KO1L6DR48W3RL6/2.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - In This World The fictional story of two Afghans fleeing their home in Pakistan and attempting to travel to London. This film tells their story over thousands of miles, crossing various borders, and using multiple forms of transport. One of the opening scenes is of a father paying for his son to be transported overland to live in a foreign land. I could never imagine being in that situation, but it is a reality for many. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526992618929-KGO9MZP8SRDFRAWVWTQG/3.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Hotel Rwanda Sometimes known as the American Schinder’s List and filmed in Rwanda and South Africa, Hotel Rwanda tells the true story of how hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina sheltered 1268 people fleeing from the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Listed by The American Film Institute of the 100 most inspirational movies of all time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526992835517-QHQ0IO1W5RJSSZQLBOG7/4.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Shooting Dogs The title of the film comes from the fact that in Rwanda UN peacekeepers were not authorised to use their weapons to protect people from violence. Instead they were only allowed to shoot stray dogs who fed on dead bodies. Filmed on location with many genocide survivors in acting roles and on the film crew. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526993313384-8UET68Y2NA6K32CM60S0/5.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Welcome A French film which highlights the desperation many people face when trying to come to England, as well as how unwelcoming Northern France is to asylum seekers. Simon (who is breaking up with his wife) meets Bilal, a Kurdish asylum seeker. Here’s a quote to get you interested: "He walked 4000 kilometres, wants to swim the channel for a girl. I couldn’t even cross the street for you". What happens? I guess you will never know unless you watch it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526993564455-FDLMHFV9M84PIWBLLRZM/6.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Leave to Remain This film is about teenage asylum seekers in the UK as well as British weather, FGM, the legal system, age disputes and learning English. Toby Jones stars as a big-hearted English teacher, with other parts played by teenage refugees. "Imagine what it is like to lose everything that is familiar to you and have to cope as an adult while still a teenager, in an alien society. Their stories can tell us something important about ourselves, and the way we treat others" - Bruce Goodison, Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526993734264-HMIBIP33TN1CP2QBD1AN/7.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - The Good Lie This 2014 release starring Reese Witherspoon tells the story of how many Sudanese people fled violence and war. This film follows three brothers who were resettled in America. As you would expect, it is moving and emotional. Perhaps more surprising is how funny it is. A good film to show friends who believe the tabloid headlines that asylum seekers come to the west for an easy life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526993944172-V8KSRNR20VQ0WHTA2M6G/8.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Timbuktu The clue is in the title. The beautiful scenery is in stark contrast with the brutal oppressive religious rules that the people are forced to live under in Mali. The dignity of the people, beautiful music, and bizarre scenes (such as two teams playing a football match without a ball) serve to make the situation even more desperate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526994009468-Q0HES10EC5Y0TUHICY6L/9.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Salam Neighbor Two filmmakers live amongst thousands of Syrians in Zaatari refugee camp and film their experience in this award-winning documentary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526994138875-ELMFM4QM0DI5T03DME70/10.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Fire at Sea This documentary constantly switches between residents of Lampedusa and those who are trying to get there by boat. I was struck by the enormous gulf between the problems of the twelve-year-old boy who lives on the island and those who are seeking safe refuge. It’s (deliberately) a painfully slow film. I looked away from the reality that the camera was recording before the camera did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526994218037-PK0OJOSWBPMARQ3452U0/11.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Home Home is a twenty-minute BAFTA-winning film. Director Daniel Mulloy made the film to ask the question "How would you survive?". In order to bring that challenge to our media-dulled minds, instead of showing images we have seen many times before he reverses the narrative and shows a family fleeing from England. From an established family living in a house in a city, they become a ragged, traumatised bunch of survivors sheltering next to a fire in an unknown destination https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526994660721-URB30P385XUI350N8WPN/12.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Wankel's Hardware Store The shortest of these films at only two and a half minutes long. However, I think, one of the most positive. It’s just a shop that employs refugees in America. On another level it’s so much more: it’s a place of welcome, dignity, hope, employment, community, family, and integration for refugees. You can watch it here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526994695046-DB606VOV55LU2EDRC1W9/13.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Insyriated A tense, claustrophobic film. The action is focused on a family trapped inside their home in a city under siege. Horrible, oppressive and brutal. When I watched this at the cinema, people silently stumbled out, too numb to speak. But this is just a film. How much more terrible must reality be? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526994843992-IFJ5OR8MEB1C0438MI5S/14.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - City of Ghosts Documentary highlighting the immense bravery of undercover journalists as they document life under ISIS. Even at risk in neighbouring countries they face immense personal risk. The high level of stress is evident in their faces, bodies and trembling hands, yet they carry on. What little act of bravery can we carry out today to show solidarity with them? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526994917026-6DW7TNFOXHR73P224O8O/15.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - First They Killed My Father Based on the book of the same name, directed by Angelina Jolie, the film shows the chaos caused by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia which displaced millions in the 1970s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526995082634-7UQ9O8B4JZ4ORDWIOZKJ/16.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Human Flow Featuring drone photography and twenty-three countries, Ai Weiwei demonstrates the scale of forced migration worldwide. In a similar way to Fire At Sea, the camera does not turn away from those on the move. No solutions are suggested and instead the documentary focuses in on the worldwide scale of displaced people. Bethany called it "a work of epic proportion" in her review for us, which you can read here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526995452675-V8Q1PASDYN960WGAMIQ4/17.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - The Climb It last a comedy! It's about the son of an Algerian immigrant called Nadir Dendoune. He rashly tells his girlfriend that he would climb Mount Everest to prove his love for her. Unfortunately, he has never been up a mountain before. With some sponsorship and lots of interest from a local radio station, is he able to make good on his promise? An inspiring film that shows what positivity and determination can achieve. Nadir Dendoune’s other exploits include riding a bike around the world and being a human shield in Iraq. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526996030165-STLFBPO7PKXOHL3MVC0N/18.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - Children of Men The year is 2027 and there are no babies as humanity is infertile. Clive Owen and Michael Caine star in this film based on the P.D. James novel. Refugees are forcibly detained, wars are frequent and terrorism is common. Supposedly set in the future, but some aspects sound uncannily familiar! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1526996349509-9X1YLKSZSJ9YLRT7SWRQ/19.png Upbeat Communities News Blog - 20 Films for Refugee Week's 20th Birthday - The Germans Sneeze Loudly A short film by Katie Lyons and the team from The Guardian.

In an attempt to improve the quality of North Korean films he decided to kidnap a famous actress and her director ex-husband. Abducted from Hong Kong’s Repulse Bay, confined for years in prison, the pair were pressed into service producing and acting in North Korean films. Finally gaining trust they travelled abroad from where they managed to escape their minders and flee to the safety of the American embassy in Vienna. A bizarre, unbelievable yet factual account. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1520594946802-DC5U9RCB8JONZ6URBK3R/11.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Despots and Defectors: Stark Contrasts in North Korea - The Invitation-Only Zone Following on from the strange but true abduction of famous South Korean film stars (above), Japanese citizens were routinely captured and taken to North Korea thoughout the 1970s and 1980s. Once in the country, they were kept away from North Koreans, and indoctrinated with the hope of being used as spies - or breeding children that could be spies. Although denied for years, the kidnap of thirteen Japanese citizens was admitted in 2002. Five were returned and eight were confirmed dead by Kim Jong-il. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1520596366296-NZB0PTHPBGOVRN3U6VPP/12.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Despots and Defectors: Stark Contrasts in North Korea - Not Forgotten On his eighteenth trip into North Korea, American Kenneth Bae was arrested and imprisoned.

The final chapter is entitled No Easy Ending, which must be what world leaders are continuously wondering. Of particular interest is the section about working with North Korean refugees. These refugees are crucial in at least three ways: as role models, channels of information and major players "when the eventual collapse and/or transformation of North Korea finally arrives". It is not far-fetched to believe that refugees from other countries have a similarly important role. By helping one person in our neighbourhood we potentially could be helping to rebuild a distant nation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1520598385791-WMYLUYJB6RRVVN0X0P79/17.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Despots and Defectors: Stark Contrasts in North Korea - Building Bridges This book is a serious attempt to answer the following question: how do you solve a problem like North Korea?

But is it really? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1520599011816-94YFAV2VQGA0IV88Z7DM/19.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Despots and Defectors: Stark Contrasts in North Korea - Eating with the Enemy Let’s end with perhaps the oddest book of the lot and available for just £2.06! Eating with the Enemy tells the weird tale of how Bobby, the American owner of a barbeque restaurant, befriended North Korean officials. Yes. It’s apparently true! As a result of the friendship, he hosted athletes, worked as an FBI informant and became an "unofficial ambassador" himself. https://www.upbeatcommunities.org/news/2018/2/1/birth monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1517508970065-RBE67L7ZKLXUANHVRO19/doctors-2607295.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - New Life in a Foreign Land: My Birth Partner Experience - “Pousse!

For only £3.29, plus postage and packaging, you can read the story of Valentino Achak Deng as he walks with hundreds of other children to escape the Sudanese civil war. The account then turns to his time spent living in a refugee camp before resettling in America. A book full of detailed observations and, despite the tragic nature of the story, humour and hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513249698023-S93JN47HE1CBBBP3532D/2.+Lightless+Sky.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - The Lightless Sky The true story of how Gulwali Passarlay fled from Afghanistan at the age of twelve. The book is an account of his journey across Europe to the UK. It is also an account of adjusting to life in the UK. It’s a story of cruelty, suffering and perseverance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250005328-OH7XMRQUMAMUXHFSXFV5/3.+New+Odyssey.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - The New Odyssey Written by Patrick Kingsley, The Guardian’s migration correspondent. He travelled to seventeen countries in 2015 to research this book and writes about the journey as well as the reasons for flight. He writes about volunteers, smugglers, coastguards, as well as “politicians who look the other way”. Read it and be changed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250067259-YFKJEVII7BZ6YLV8N7LL/4.+Crossing.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - The Crossing We have all seen images of Syria on the news. In this book, journalist Samar Yazbek travels from Paris where she is living in exile back to Syria on three separate occasions. It reads like an unending conveyor belt of death. Yazbek gives an insight into the daily lives of Syrians living in terrible conditions. Read it and have your heart softened to the Syrians living in our midst. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250125913-RKMTQIUQGYA4YN39M3SR/5.+Morning.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - The Morning They Came For Us Janine di Giovanni reports on how the war in Syria began and the impact it has on people. It is harrowing. Maybe even more than the previous book. Particularly brutal is realising how rape is commonly used as a weapon of war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250193669-BIR5NWLTZOHUQTFWHIM3/6.+Boaz.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - The Book of Boaz This is the story of how Dave Smith established the Boaz Trust, a charity for destitute asylum seekers in Manchester. The book is also an exploration of the British asylum system and what we can do to welcome people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250257424-MEF8IXG1Z29MF1HHRZ3S/7.+Refugee+Stories.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - Refugee Stories In this book, Dave Smith records seven true stories of people he works with. It highlights that every situation is different. The one thread running through the book is the difficulties and hardship endured by each person as well as the less than welcoming treatment they have all received from the government. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250385383-NQQCKU70SM4U1PV01ZGB/8.+Migrant+Crisis.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - Serving God in a Migrant Crisis Patrick Johnstone argues that the refugee crisis is no passing phase. Instead, it is a growing global trend. He organises his book into three sections: What’s going on, What’s to know and What to do? Chapters that were particularly impacting were Jesus was a Refugee and The Blessings of Immigration. Johnstone says, “The world has literally come to our doorstep. Will we open the door?”. Read it to see if you can find the mention of Upbeat Communities! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250454782-W10QO87TS0O3QE7SQWN0/9.+Seeking+Refuge.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - Seeking Refuge This is almost like Serving God in a Migrant Crisis but for an American audience. However, it is worthwhile reading for sections on the theology of migration, hospitality, and understanding the trauma behind resettlement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250523522-UWOLG2XZYM06O5S1D7CW/10.+Happiest+Refugee.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - The Happiest Refugee This is the account of how Anh Do came to Australia on a boat from Vietnam. Surviving pirates and dehydration was just the start of his journey. After struggling in many jobs, he realised that comedians only have to work a few hours a week so he changed career. A five-star read! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250591782-KIHW4CUSNKUK4EH9TMP0/11.+Thorns.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - City of Thorns The Radio 4 book of the week from February 2016. An account of nine interconnected lives in Dadaab, the world’s largest refugee camp. One Amazon reviewer called it a story of "shocking reality" and "painfully informative". This is what someone else had to say: "This was quite a perspective changing book for me. I'll admit, I usually just think of refugees as statistics that you hear about on the news, instead of as discrete individuals with their own story and their own personal struggles, some of which are not so different from my own." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250664114-QIVGO7PA3OR6SVOW0YO1/12.+Human+Cargo.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - Human Cargo Written in three sections (leaving, arriving and afterwards), Caroline Moorehead writes about asylum seekers in a range of locations including Afghanistan, America, Australia, Egypt, Lebanon, Britain and Sicily. The one thing that unites all these places is the effort that governments expend in order to keep people out. Although it is now a dated book, reading it is very informative and well worth the effort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250741819-EAX349INUDHPQTBW4MTS/13.+Cast+Away.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - Cast Away This book, written by the Deputy Foreign Editor of The Independent, documents journeys to Europe as well as Europe’s inadequate response. Peter Lloyd, an Amazon reviewer, states that “this book does a great service in helping us meet people and listens to them tell their stories, of why they left home, the terrible journeys that they have endured and their treatment on arrival in Europe". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1513250821201-X9C2S1G5NDID0UKB1QDR/14.+Optician.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - 14 Books to Change the World in 2018 - The Optician of Lampedusa An award-winning BBC journalist brings to life a late summer boat trip off a Sicilian island. That’s what the blurb says, but it's much more than that. As well as documenting the final tragic part of a journey from Libya, the book also documents how the optician has his heart enlarged for those he had previously not seen. Read the book and be spurred on to make a difference. https://www.upbeatcommunities.org/news/2017/12/1/samira monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1512733681785-RMAIE0SH85JYFMF8REHC/host-derby-logo-colour.png Upbeat Communities News Blog - Samira's Story YOU can help people like Samira by donating to our hosting scheme here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1512144797246-S4384I9L3SM2GV708XEF/person-731264.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Samira's Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1512145237070-8TJ3ZS4A5WI5GG7X3897/tunnel-2451087.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Samira's Story - "she didn’t know whether she would be deported" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1512145622277-JW5YXCZXWLAZ4PIX9HV4/baby-21098.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Samira's Story https://www.upbeatcommunities.org/news/2017/11/27/asim monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1512733800019-ZK6DDJ0A4T5OFCDYJBV9/host-derby-logo-colour.png Upbeat Communities News Blog - Asim's Story YOU can help people like Asim by donating to our hosting scheme here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1511796058086-GKIVG1PSZK8BOM6M84BA/bench-2525080.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Asim's Story - "Asim struggles to sleep, so he had many restless nights" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1511796361569-NQ4JJURCRI50WNIOJ2QK/writing-1149962.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Asim's Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1511797281863-ESNJQ2DTO9VL0XVGDYOJ/man-1394395.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Asim's Story https://www.upbeatcommunities.org/news/2017/11/14/arabic monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1510667510133-5D6VQEGPNCWQ4JQPWYC6/islam-1663703_1920.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Back to School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5759816601dbae748f7d7b2f/1510668449379-NCDHJNNO8345S8ZR7KKU/IMG_20171113_210339021.jpg Upbeat Communities News Blog - Back to School - Einir "I'm very excited to be learning a language that is spoken by so many of our international friends!
