“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

This weekend we connected with the #SolidarityKnowsNoBorders community. We were united by our common purpose of building power for migrant justice and have left feeling hopeful and energised, ready to build the world we want to see!

Lots of people arriving at the Peace Gardens for the Yorkshire Integration Festival.

Come and visit us at the City of Sanctuary Sheffield🧡 stall ❤️

#RefugeesWelcome

The Refugee Convention is the cornerstone of international refugee protection and remains a life-saving instrument that ensures millions of people fleeing conflict and persecution each year can access safety and protection across borders.

Today we are united by grief & determination. Our hearts are with the families who have lost so much.

No one should lose their life trying to reach safety. Without safe routes, people are left with no choice but to risk everything.

Enough is enough. We need #SafeRoutesNow 🧡
