Labour peer Lord Alf Dubs has appealed for donations to fund the salary of a campaigner against faith schools.

Lord Dubs urged members of the public to donate to a humanist advocacy group’s JustGiving campaign, which has already raised £11,268 of its £40,000 target. 

The appeal, which cites the effects of the pandemic, seeks to cover Dr Ruth Wareham’s salary through 2021. 

Her role involves campaigning for “an end to state religious schools and religious discrimination in school admission,” according to the fundraising page.
