"Integration is not a buzzword. It’s a lifeline. And community is how we keep it strong." Oxfam colleague and @RefugeeWeek ambassador Awssan on why this year’s Refugee Week theme, ‘Community as a Superpower’, isn’t just a slogan. bigissue.com/opinion/refuge…
Thanks to those who took part in the “Sharing Food, Sharing languages” event hosted at Eden Court to mark Refugee Week events. The event brought together over 200 people from New Scots and host Communities to promote diversity, cross-cultural understanding and connect people.

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
We stopped by Pensby High @PensbyHighSch today and were delighted to see a secondary school actively marking Refugee Week—something we don’t often see, but is so important to build empathy and understanding. #RefugeeWeek2025
Thank you for this incredibly moving message of support Sadiq! @MayorofLondon
Those who came to our city as refugees have contributed to the rich tapestry of London—as neighbours, workers, carers, athletes, entrepreneurs and friends. This Refugee Week, London stands strong as a bastion against hate, and shines bright as a beacon of hope and sanctuary.
Really brilliant resource by @NEUnion for teachers & educators!
