The 2025 LCRF Speaker Event will be delivered by The Right Revd. Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Bishop of Dover, on the theme of "Community as a Superpower". Bishop Rose says,
"The theme for refugee week this year is focussed on community. For me, the very thought of community is about me recognising that I have something in common with others; about me choosing to be a part of something. This widens my horizons as I am not just left thinking about me and my survival but about how we can work together for the survival and the flourishing of all. As a woman of faith, I am reminded that God loved all the world that he created. At the end of his work of creation, God said, ‘Man this is good!’ I believe in the goodness of all that God created – in humanity of which I am a part - and with every breath that I am able, I want my work to be about building community. I am grateful to the people of South Africa for the word UBUNTU – which means, “I am because you are.” In other words, it is because of you that I am here. Together, let us build flourishing communities wherever we go. This my sisters and brothers, is our superpower!"
There will also be an opportunity to hear speakers and performers from some of the frontline charities funded by LCRF.
Refreshments will be available after the event.
