We love this project from @MirrorTogether, we need lots of stories of people working in solidarity together. Congratulations to everyone involved.
@TogetherintheUk 👀have you seen our latest film from the #Islandofstrangers project? We headed to #Liverpool where refugees & local climbers forge powerful bonds.
