Amazing determination from our newly arrived young people as they embarked on a breathtaking hike to Wales for their @DofE Bronze Awards! 🌿🥾🏞️ Exploring the outdoors and celebrating the end of #RefugeeWeek2023. So proud of their resilience and determination! #DOFE #RefugeeWeek

A man hits a very large, slow-moving, peaceful creature at close range with a high-powered rifle to help him feel like more of a man. Legal, endangered, threatened, or none of the above, it's still wrong and barbaric. Please RT if you think all trophy hunting should be outlawed.

[Peter Barnett CBE @PeterBCov]

Great event and delighted to take part 🧡

[Positive Youth Foundation @positiveyouthUK]

Thanks to @PeterBCov introducing Coventry as we know it as a #cityofsanctuary, welcoming one and all. Our @coventrycc @CccMigration valued partner & funder for our work within various resettlement programmes. #findingafuture

The government are going to spend £180,000,000 each decade to make it harder for us all to vote. Sign @electoralreform's petition against the government’s expensive plans #SayNoToVoterID #HandsOffOurVote #ElectionsBill https://t.co/OmK8PSRT5Z

Great evening hearing about and recognising some of the amazing health and wellbeing work going on in Coventry at the moment. Well done to all, but particularly @njinglis who is amazing and already missed so much!❤️ #CovHWBAwards2022

This was so inspirational - thanks PYF💚

After 10 busy weeks we celebrated the achievements of over 30 young people from our Boost programme.

The summer Boost programme worked to give newly arrived young people new chances, opportunities and a platform to learn ESOL before they went to school this September.

What would you bring if you were #ForcedtoFlee? 💼

Every other second that ticks by, someone, somewhere around the world, is forced to make this impossible choice.

I could not agree more. Today is as very sad day indeed. 🧡 #RefugeesWelcome https://t.co/YnJ74iVlVd

Congratulations to everyone Coventry related, recognised in the Jubilee Honours - but particularly to Sorrelle who is amazing and an inspiration to work with! ❤️📚 https://t.co/Mo0eAoV1tT

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

Right now a cruel bill that seeks to turn people fleeing for their lives from war & persecution into criminals is progressing through Parliament.

Help us spread the word – please like and share.

"The monasteries that are still standing..." Unbelievable

[Ros Atkins @BBCRosAtkins]

Last night just as I was out of time on talking with @bbclysedoucet, I asked Lyse quickly about the golden dome that was behind her in the evening light. Her answer really moved me - and it seems I’m not the only one.

[Peter Barnett CBE @PeterBCov]

@positiveyouth96 @coventrycc @BBCCiN Thanks so much for the invite, really enjoyed our conversation 🧡

[Coventry City Council @coventrycc]

The flag of Ukraine is now flying outside the Council House as a mark of solidarity with the people of Ukraine and their families and friends who live in Coventry.

Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
