This week is Refugee Week. Refugee Week 2026 invites everyone to explore the theme of Courage, coming from the Latin word cor, which means “heart”.
“For refugees around the world, courage is often a daily necessity. It is the courage to face unknown journeys, learn new languages, navigate unfamiliar systems, or simply to wake up each morning and step into an uncertain world.
At a time when some seek to divide and blame, Refugee Week 2026 calls us to come together and share the courage to welcome, to stand for what we believe in, and to celebrate culture and community – to be joyful, imagine new possibilities, dream, heal, and connect.”
Here at The Circle we are proud to be connected to many local organisations and events who support refugees and asylum seekers in many different ways. Such as New Beginnings, City of Sanctuary, Migration Matters and many more.
If you are interested in showing support, you can have a look at the Refugee Week 2026 website (Home 2026 | Refugee Week) for more information on the point of Refugee Week, the events that are being held and any ways you could take part.
