More about Islington Borough of Sanctuary Refugee Week Programme
Monday 16 June to Sunday 22 June 2025
Being a Borough of Sanctuary in Islington means we welcome all people seeking sanctuary. Join us in sharing the feelings of welcome and belonging by showing how our communities are our superpower. This Refugee Week, we ask that you consider doing some simple acts of kindness such as sharing a smile or a warm greeting to others, doing a kind deed and thanking people for the kindness they offer you.
