A community celebration of the contributions & creativity of refugees, for Refugee Week (17-23 June): everyone welcome!

a talk by our patron John Pilkington on Wednesday 8 March 2023. Starting by the Aral Sea, John passed through the legendary cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, before crossing the Pamirs to Kyrgyzstan’s old silk-producing heartland. He made it through to Kashgar, and explored the previously off-limits Taklamakan Desert. A quick look at the Jiayuguan gate on the Great Wall, finishing in Ürümqi which has been transformed from sprawling hovels into a modern Chinese city. These are the lands of the Uyghur people, whose lives and culture have been torn apart.

Our events raise much-needed funds and raise awareness of our work and the plight of asylum seekers. They include concerts, sponsored walks, talks, cake sales, a bridge afternoon and film nights.
