Refugee Week happens nationally every June, with events anchored around World Refugee Day (20th). Refugee Week is an act of welcome, a gesture of solidarity & a shared celebration. In Nottingham we work to raise awareness of the reasons why people are forced to seek refuge – persecution, war, poverty and conflict – & also celebrate the many positive contributions people seeking refuge & asylum mak
e to the economic, cultural & social life of the city. Nottingham Refugee Week is supported by brilliant city-wide partners from different sectors including the arts, social care and support services, sport and the food/hospitality industry. Please get in touch if you are an organisation/group who would like to host a local event or support in any other way including volunteering, fundraising & marketing/promotion.
