Refugee Week 🧡

📣 Refugee Week 2026 Theme Announcement: COURAGE The word courage comes from the Latin cor, meaning “heart.” 👉Read here: refugeeweek.org.uk/theme-of-refug…

Our message to the Arts & Culture sector: will you join us and show Courage for Refugee Week 2026? Refugee Week marks 75 years since the UN Refugee Convention – a commitment that people forced to flee deserve protection, dignity & hope. Take part now: buff.ly/syEEMRQ

People who have been persecuted, tortured or seen family members killed in brutal wars are not "asylum shopping." As our CEO told @thetimes, refugees don’t compare asylum systems before running for their lives. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

A little kindness goes a long way. If you want to start your week with compassion, rather than division, read these messages from our supporters. refugeecouncil.org.uk/support-us/cam…

As part of Refugee Week, I visited Out in Cov, a LGBTQ+ refugee group that’s supported people from around the world for over a decade. Solidarity with all seeking safety and the freedom to live as their authentic selves 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Today, on Windrush Day 2025, we honour the men and women who kept Britain moving. From buses to the Underground, Windrush transport workers helped drive the country forward — one route at a time. #WindrushDay #Windrushgeneration #BlackBritishHistory #LondonTransport #TFL

"Afghan women need support from the international community." says film director @Sahra_Mani Tonight, #Afghan #Women’s voices are ringing out in a full theatre. #BreadAndRoses reminds us why @RefugeeWeek matters & how storytelling can be a form of resistance. #CommunityAsSuperpower #RefugeeWeek #SimpleActs

Happy National Windrush Day! It’s important to recognise the contribution and legacies of the Windrush generation + descendants year-round, but today is still a special moment to reflect and commemorate the 77th anniversary of HMT Empire Windrush coming to Britain #WindrushDay
