What a treat it was last week to listen to the BBO Big Band music!
We are loving this tradition Marlow Refugee Action of having superb jazz music played for our cause.
It was a superb evening and all the money generously donated will go to Refugees Welcome in Wycombe to support their effort in helping people to rebuild their life in the UK.

Thank you to Book Shop, , Lucie Vassiliou and others for their donation of raffle prizes.

Thank you so much to all the people that came to the movie screening last night.
Special thanks to Deacon Kevin for hosting us at StPeter's church and for being so solution minded so that we could have a great evening.

It's been a pleasure meeting new people and discussing the Syrian refugees situation.

Come and join us on Thu 11th July at StPeter's church for this movie, directed by a Syrian director.

Film: Nezouh, Director: Soudade Kaadan
With Hala Zein, Kinda Alloush, Samer al Masri, Nizar Alani
(France-UK-Syria 2022. 103min)

Teenager Zeina and her family are the last to stay in their besieged hometown of Damascus, in Syria. When a missile rips a giant hole in their home, it unexpectedly leads Zeina to an unimaginable world of possibility. Delicately weaving lightness and magical realism among heart-breaking desolation, Soudade Kaadan’s Venice Film Festival award-winner offers a powerful and moving perspective on the Syrian conflict.

Tea and coffee will be served with cakes and biscuits. We will accept donations at the door.
