The Stand Up to Racism group is hosting a 'Refugees Welcome' talk in Balham Baptist Church.

Speakers include Suliman Guni, Imam of South London Mosque, Claude Moraes, Labour MEP for London and Abdul Haroun, who walked through the Eurotunnel to seek asylum.

Alex McHugh, one of the organisers, said: "'This is a great opportunity for the people of London to show compassion to those who currently need it most.

"Now is the time to let refugees know we are here to help them end their struggle for a just and free life.

"By a common endeavour, our communities can help those fleeing persecution by giving them a level of peace and security that every human being has the right to enjoy."

The event begins at 7pm on February 10 at Balham Baptist Church.
