Thank you Nell!
We had a wonderful surprise in the office yesterday, when Nell B and her father came to visit and hand in a donation.
Nell ran a bake sale recently, and raised £101 for Refugee Women of Bristol.

We are so impressed Nell - you are brilliant and we hope you got to eat some of your cakes too!

Thanks as well to your Dad for coming with you and sharing this brilliant photo.
We hope you keep in touch.

Edit: We really hope some of Nell's family see this post and can share the comments with her. It's so lovely to see kindness in this world. Thank you all for your lovely words to Nell. You're all right. She's a star.

What an amazing day!

We love our annual dance event - where women who come from all over the world join together to celebrate and recognise each other with all our similarities and our differences.

We dance, laugh, sing and share food together.
We encourage each other to wear traditional dress, tell stories that connect us to each other and loved ones, and learn about each others cultures and traditions.

The day "was a wonderful day celebrating culture, music and bringing together our members and the wider community. There were so many smiles, laughter and special moments shared throughout the day".

Life can be hugely challenging for so many, but yesterday was about being part of the and coming together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Refugee Festival 2026 kicks off!
6-21st June 2026

RWoB are proud to be part of this years Refugee Festival.
This years theme is 'courage'.

As the festival organisers explain - "For refugees around the world, courage is often a daily necessity. It is the courage to face unknown journeys, learn new languages, navigate unfamiliar systems, or simply to wake up each morning and step into an uncertain world.
Courage isnt always loud or bold. It can be found in small everyday acts of hope, connection and showing up. Bristol is proud to be a City of Sanctuary. Join us in creating a welcoming city for all".
https://www.bristolrefugeefestival.org/

Representatives from RWoB invite you to join us and others at the annual festival finale on June 21st for an afternoon of celebration, music, dance and food.

Last month RWoB took part in the Million Acts of Hope campaign. Whilst the week long official campaign might be finished, the focus on recognising hope and kindness where ever we see it is ongoing.

We will continue to acknowledge and recognise the hope and kindness of our members, staff, volunteers and all those who support us.

One of our team, Muna has kindly shared the following:

"For me, hope is the quiet strength that helps people keep going even during the most difficult times. In our work with refugee women, hope can begin with small things,such as feeling safe, being listened to, building trust, or seeing a possibility for a better future.

I believe hope grows through community, kindness, and resilience. Every time a woman feels empowered, supported, or understood, hope becomes stronger. Even after experiences of loss and uncertainty, people continue to show courage and determination, which is deeply inspiring.

Working at Refugee Women of Bristol reminds me that hope is not only about the future, but also about the support and compassion we offer each day in the present".

Thank you Muna.
