Pictures can capture anything which gives a snapshot of family life — from chasing the dog round the garden to playing games with grandad, from family Sunday roasts to a takeaway in front of the TV on a Saturday night..They can be serious or just silly.

Kate Allen, director of Amnesty UK, said: "Although many of us take hundreds of photos of our loved ones each year, we still cherish a special handful because they remind us of the happiness that family life can bring.

"Distractingly, for refugees who have lost everything, these photos can often be the closest connection they have to their family."

How to get involved

We’re creating the UK’s biggest collection of real family photos to show the Home Secretary that the UK believes in keeping families together. We need as many photos as possible so that he can’t ignore us - that’s where you come in!

Submit a photo of your family below and we’ll add it to Amnesty’s giant album that will be displayed at Parliament in October, as well the digital version that will be found on the Amnesty website.
