The word courage comes from the Latin cor, meaning “heart.”

Our message to the Arts & Culture sector: will you join us and show Courage for Refugee Week 2026?

Refugee Week marks 75 years since the UN Refugee Convention – a commitment that people forced to flee deserve protection, dignity & hope.

Take part now: https://t.co/D9dUFlHPmV

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

People who have been persecuted, tortured or seen family members killed in brutal wars are not "asylum shopping."

As our CEO told @thetimes, refugees don’t compare asylum systems before running for their lives.

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

A little kindness goes a long way.

If you want to start your week with compassion, rather than division, read these messages from our supporters.

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

We've joined over 100 organisations calling on the new Home Secretary to unite communities.

Scapegoating refugees won’t fix inequality, housing shortages, or a crumbling NHS. Real solutions will.

[Manchester City of Sanctuary @ManchesterCoS]

Today we join over 200 orgs to call on Party Leaders to end the divisive politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past.

Only then will they bring unity instead of division and cohesion rather than hate.

[Together With Refugees 🧡 @RefugeeTogether]

"It is time for you, our leaders, to take a strong and united stand." Thanks to the 200+ orgs that joined our call for party leaders to end the divisive politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past🧡👇https://t.co/NxPmcrptpE

[Black History Month 2026 @bhmuk]

Today, on Windrush Day 2025, we honour the men and women who kept Britain moving. From buses to the Underground, Windrush transport workers helped drive the country forward — one route at a time. #WindrushDay #Windrushgeneration #BlackBritishHistory #LondonTransport #TFL

[IOM United Kingdom @IOM_UK]

"Afghan women need support from the international community." says film director @Sahra_Mani

Tonight, #Afghan #Women’s voices are ringing out in a full theatre.

#BreadAndRoses reminds us why @RefugeeWeek matters & how storytelling can be a form of resistance.

[Windrush 100 Network @100Windrush]

Happy National Windrush Day!

It’s important to recognise the contribution and legacies of the Windrush generation + descendants year-round, but today is still a special moment to reflect and commemorate the 77th anniversary of HMT Empire Windrush coming to Britain
