Over the spring and summer of this year we have invited people to grow sunflowers in memory of those who have lost their lives seeking refuge. These last sunflowers of the season are sadly for a family who only this week died while trying to reach safety in the UK. #SafePassage

We are excited to be supporting @RefugeeWeek this year with an event at @bookshop_bear on Sat 17 Jun with @GulwaliP Tickets are £5 on the door or in advance at bearbookshop.co.uk/upcoming-events

The UK #NationalityAndBordersBill could treat refugees+migrants "as if they were criminals", violating human rights law, & could deter rescuers, risking more loss of life. #togetherwithrefugees #RefugeesWelcome

We’re excited to launch our Christmas fundraising campaign - Books for Bearwood. Please donate to help us give books to local refugee and asylum seeking families this Christmas tiny.cc/booksforbearwo…

"Instead of accepting that there is a real need to ensure that people can get to the UK, the government ...pursues ever-more draconian proposals like illegal pushbacks at sea and even higher fences." our CEO @minnierahman We need safe routes now. independent.co.uk/voices/channel…

Heart-breaking news. How many tragedies like this must we see before the Government fundamentally changes its approach by committing to an ambitious expansion of safe routes for those men, women and children in desperate need of protection? theguardian.com/world/2021/nov…

Wow such a wonderful evening! Thanks so much Bearwood (and beyond) for coming along to our Procession Of Light and showing that refugees are welcome here. And thanks to speakers @CllrBostan, Nicky Hincliff and Lucy from @Brushstrokes66 and all our volunteers.

It’s our Procession Of Light this evening 6pm at @WarleyWoods1. Come along with your lanterns and torches to show solidarity with refugees. #togetherwithrefugees #nooneisillegal #withrefugees #bearwood

You could make your own lantern for our Procession Of Light 6pm, 9th October at Warley Woods. Here are a couple of ideas for bear lanterns. #TogetherWithRefugees

54 people, including 6 women, 21 unaccompanied minors and one baby, have been rescued by MSF teams later today. "Our sufferings in Libya are over", they screamed when the #GeoBarents approached their boat.

Join us 9 October for our Procession Of Light 6pm at Warley Woods. We are very happy to be able to hold this event again and look forward to the community of Bearwood coming together in solidarity with refugees promoting messages of welcome, hope and support. #WithRefugees

You could also do our 36000 steps #WeCanGetActive challenge

The wait is over. It's #WorldRefugeeDay! Fighting a pandemic or helping communities, refugees have been there every step of the way. Let's show up for them today and everyday. Because together, we can achieve anything.

I enjoyed the elderflowers and sunshine while doing the last of my 36000 steps for @BearwoodAction @36000Humans #WeCanGetActive #RefugeeWeek2021 challenge. #WeCannotWalkAlone
