Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts and culture festival, celebrating the contributions and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Each year, the week of activities is based around a theme, and this year’s theme is compassion. It is the 25^th anniversary since Refugee Week was founded in the UK, making it an extra special year. There are lots of events you may like to attend, see Upcoming Events – Refugee Week or the attached calendar

Please note, there is also a flyer attached to promote the re-launch of the Leeds City of Sanctuary on Monday the 19^th of June. The City of Sanctuary is a national movement that promotes welcome for people seeking sanctuary and their event will celebrate the work of organisations actively promoting welcome.
