Please consider supporting the good folks at Bicycle Links, a local social enterprise who do so much for our local communities. Only 3 days left to try and reach their goal.

Help us support our community and greener travel by raising the funds to buy two heavyweight, mechanical bicycle stands.

We are proud to share the Evaluation Report of Refugee Week Norwich 2025.

Also, our new Resources page is now live, containing posters, booklets, video walks and workshops, an interactive virtual art gallery, and even a songbook... all made for Refugee Week over the years, by organisations and collaborations alongside sanctuary seekers locally.

New Routes works closely with Norwich City of Sanctuary, throughout the year, and especially on Refugee Week Norwich events. NCofS has area focus groups, which make so much happen, across:
Arts, Faiths, Schools, Universities, Health, Theatre, Museums, Gardens and Libraries.

We can not thank them enough for their support.

If you're interested to know more about what CofS do locally, please visit:

Here you can sign-up to be kept in the loop 🙌

We recently enjoyed a Garden Party, hosted by The Bishop of Norwich.

Sun, togetherness, participant cooked food, crafts, games, books, stalls (including ours), and not forgetting the ice-cream... a colourful, beautiful, peaceful scene.

Thank You to Norwich Cathedral for your welcome to our community, as a Church of Sanctuary. And Thank You to County Council People from Abroad Team, for organising.

Oh my goodness guys, I'm too busy to make this post BUT... we've seen some very generous donations since my last post and we are now just OVER our Refugee Week Norwich crowdfunder target!!!
📯🎊📣🫶🎉🎉🎉✨

I actually shed a tear -
THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH!
These funds really ease the situation looking forward.

In these testing times it's great to know that the city has our back.

Thanks again (...and there's still 2 days to go - if anyone else wanted to support there's still, a little, time)

If you want to contribute to the culture of welcome in our city,
If you believe that there is more that unites us than divides us,
If you value local community cohesion, and integration...

One action you can take this weekend is to donate to our work.

This is the final week of our Refugee Week Norwich crowdfunder - please give as you can and help us reach our target!

Together small contributions make a BIG difference -
THANK YOU 💛🌍✨
