‘Every asylum seeker deserves fair treatment, protection and support. Refugee Action works to end the injustice and poverty faced by so many here in the UK.’ Stephen Hale, Chief Executive Officer Stephen had acquired a strong service ethic by the time he left Sevenoaks in 1990 to work for the Green Alliance and Oxfam International. As special adviser to the British Government he focused on climate change, and the OBE awarded in 2011 was for services to the environment. Now he is CEO at Refugee Action, a UK charity that supports people fleeing war. For all our students, service is still an integral part of life at Sevenoaks.
