Hammersmith & Fulham Council is celebrating Refugee Week with seven days of free events, Saturday 15 June to Friday 21 June, inspired by the theme ‘Our Home’. All events are open to everyone.
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.
Take a look at our photos from last year's Sunday Funday.
Or to come along to any of our free 2024 events please register online through our form. Spaces are limited.
