Liberal Judaism's Rabbi Janet Darley has collected a major human rights award.

The South London Liberal Synagogue minister was part of the Citizens UK group who won the Champions of the Year prize at the Women on the Move Awards at the Royal Festival Hall.

The award recognised how Citizens UK, which has been campaigning on refugee and migrant issues for more than a decade, has promoted the rights of refugees in the past year - helping to find appropriate homes for families, creating the National Refugee Welcome Board.

The judges concluded: "Citizens UK went beyond what would be expected from mainstream civil society groups to show their support for refugees and migrants, including women."
