Dr Krish Kandiah OBE is the founder of The Sanctuary Foundation, a charity supporting refugees to find welcome, work and worthwhile housing in the UK. Krish has also been at the forefront of many other initiatives including the fostering and adoption charity Home For Good, as well as writing multiple books on theology, activism and faith.

Following a summer marred by riots over immigration, Justin and Belle talk to Krish about re-enchanting compassion for the 'orphan, widow and foreigner' in an increasingly divided culture.
