It's Refugee Week!

This week, across the country, many organisations are celebrating the contributions of refugees in the UK as part of Refugee Week.

This year’s theme is Healing: “Through creativity and conversations, Refugee Week 2022 will be a celebration of community, mutual care, and the human ability to start again.”

There are loads of events happening across Derby — a city thriving with diverse communities of people currently seeking sanctuary in the UK. Click the button below to see the full timetable of what’s happening:

At Upbeat Communities, we’ll be holding a special Cultural Celebration Evening, hosted by our friends from El Salvador and Honduras. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates from a fun evening of cultural food, music and dancing!
