From Brian Bilston for World Refugee Day...read from top to bottom and bottom to top!

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

This , we stand with people seeking sanctuary 🧡

Across the UK, City of Sanctuary groups are bringing people together, building welcome, and celebrating our shared humanity.

From local communities to national networks, we're proud to stand with those seeking safety and belonging.

Join us.

So another busy week, the sun was out for the school holidays, some of our clients and colleagues were celebrating Eid too.

My heart was filled with hope as one of our team told of the joy of sharing their Eid feast with their new neighbours. Their neighbours then reciprocated by sharing their birthday cake 🫂

On top of that, one of our lovely ESOL volunteers [Clare] was trying to quietly celebrate her birthday...when the lovely Omid presented the most amazing birthday cake [a giant and fruitfilled croissant!!] ... it was delicious and shared by all at the centre....
