Brighton & Hove once again. We
coordinated events organised by other
organisations to allow a single refugee
week publicity across the city and we
organised a film screening, jointly with the
University. We also ran two sessions for
local schools (free of charge). Alongside
Refugee Week activity we picked up on our
regular schools of sanctuary work,
supporting activities in primary and
secondary schools across the city. We also
further contacts with the central library
which became a Library of Sanctuary and
hosted the main refugee week event.
This year, thanks to an additional grant
from Brighton and Hove City Council we
were able to employ a coordinator,
Fatehullah Naserzai, for 2 days a week. He
has lived experience of seeking sanctuary
in the UK and is working extremely well,
coordinating all of our activities and
particularly engaging with refugee and
community organisations in the city.|
