HOLLYWOOD hunk Dougray Scott is urging Hampshire residents to look beyond the label of those who flee to the county to escape war and persecution. As part of the British Red Cross’ new campaign, Look Beyond the Label, the Mission Impossible II star is pledging his support to tackle discrimination against refugees.
The campaign hopes to encourage people to look past the refugee label and see the positive contributions these people bring to society. Youngsters settling in Southampton are already benefiting from a new befriending project, LivingINBritain, helping them to adjust and make friends.
