Peter and Mehdi

The image of a boy's body washed up on a beach in Turkey changed some media attitudes at home. In the Sun newspaper, where columnist Katie Hopkins had recently written that she didn't care if migrants drowned, a campaign began in the boy's memory to raise cash for Save the Children. The Labour leadership hopeful Yvette Cooper said councils should take ten families. Sir Bob Geldof the founder of Live Aid said he'd take Syrian families into his own home, and urged others to do the same. Here's the story of one man who did just that. Peter lives in Sheffield and Mehdi lived in Iran before fleeing and applying for refugee status.
