Hammersmith & Fulham Council is celebrating Refugee Week with seven days of free events.
The festival, which runs from Monday 17 June to Sunday 23 June, is inspired by the theme ‘compassion’. All events are free and open to everyone.
Cllr Rebecca Harvey, H&F Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion and Community Safety, said: “In H&F, we want a better world for refugees, where they are welcomed by everyone, respected and treated fairly.
“Refugee Week highlights how much asylum seekers and refugees contribute to our daily lives and reconfirms our commitment to be a haven for those fleeing persecution, violence, and war. It’s also an excellent opportunity to thank and recognise them for their contributions to enriching our lives.”
