Refugee Week celebrations at Horsham Neighbourhood House last week brought people from the community together over a shared lunch.
Neighbourhood house manager Charlie Helyar said the event was an important opportunity for people to experience and celebrate the richness of cultures of refugees and what they brought to the community.
“Refugee Week 2024 has the theme ‘finding freedom’, with a focus on family, encapsulating the profound journey of resilience, strength and community that defines the refugee experience, he said.
“This Refugee Week, we shed light on the transformative power of familiar bonds, of well-known chosen bonds, in the face of diversity, and emphasise the crucial role that many families play in providing solace, support and a sense of belonging to those forced to flee their homelands.”
