We walked and talked, we played and planted, sowed seeds and took chances. We feasted, shared tables, drank coffee, were entertained and went on an adventure. Refugee Week was a vibrant week full of colour!
We’re gathering together some of our output during Refugee Week, including articles, daily reflections, videos, pictures…and a few favourite social media posts. This is a dynamic page which will receive more additions over the next few days – so be sure to come back!

Funding
As part of our developing Faithful Butetown project we received a small grant from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund awarded by Cardiff Council’s Community Cohesion Team.
This meant that we could offer four free performances of the Betty Campbell play to 6 schools during Refugee Week. The rest of the grant will be used to further develop Faithful Butetown. More details about this exciting project coming soon!
