🎉👏 Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering a highly successful Big Sanctuary Information Fair 2026!

MSCNI would like to extend our sincere thanks to Queen's University Belfast, Belfast City Council, the Department for Communities, and all participating organisations for creating such an important and welcoming event for migrant, refugee, asylum-seeking, and minority ethnic communities across Belfast and Northern Ireland.

MSCNI was proud to be represented on both days, engaging with hundreds of attendees, sharing information about our sports, cultural, education, wellbeing, and integration programmes, and connecting people with opportunities to participate and belong within their communities.

It was also a pleasure to welcome Belfast's new Lord Mayor, Róisín McCormick, whose presence highlighted the importance of inclusion, diversity, and building a city where everyone feels valued and supported.

Events like this demonstrate the power of partnership working and the positive impact that can be achieved when organisations come together to provide practical support, advice, and opportunities for people from all backgrounds.

Well done to all exhibitors, volunteers, staff, interpreters, organisers, and attendees who made the event such a success.

Together, we continue to build a more welcoming, inclusive, and connected Belfast for all.

💙 🍎COMMUNITY SOLIDARITY IN ACTION 🍍💙

During the recent crisis affecting many families across Northern Ireland, the generosity and compassion of our partners, trustees, members and supporters have made a real difference.

MSCNI would like to express our sincere gratitude to:
✅ Migrant Centre NI for their generous donation of £1,000.
✅ Homeless Connect for providing male and female hygiene packs for people over 60 years of age.
✅ Annadale Community Centre for donating over 80 food parcels.
✅ MSCNI Trustees and Members for contributing an additional £500 towards emergency support.

Together, these contributions have enabled us to provide essential assistance to over 400 families affected by the recent events.

We are incredibly grateful to every donor, volunteer, partner organisation and community member who has stood with us during this challenging time. Your kindness has brought hope and practical support to those who needed it most.

There are still families requiring assistance. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please contact us at:

🕊️ THANK YOU BELFAST TELEGRAPH FOR PROVIDING A PLATFORM FOR UNITY, COMPASSION AND SHARED HUMANITY 🕊️

Multi-Ethnic Sports and Cultures NI (MSCNI) would like to sincerely thank the Belfast Telegraph for publishing an important opinion article by our Founder and CEO, Jahswill Emmanuel BEM, at a time when Northern Ireland needs calm, understanding and solidarity.

As communities continue to process recent events, it is vital that we reject division, misinformation and hatred, and instead focus on what unites us as people.

Jahswill Emmanuel BEM said:

"Northern Ireland is stronger when we stand together and remember our shared humanity. The actions of one individual must never be used to judge an entire community. We must continue to choose compassion over hatred, dialogue over division, and unity over fear."

MSCNI remains committed to promoting inclusion, good relations, community cohesion and intercultural understanding through sport, culture and education. We encourage everyone to read and share the article as we work together to build a safer, stronger and more welcoming Northern Ireland for all.

Thank you to the Belfast Telegraph for helping amplify a message of hope, respect and unity.
