We are hosting a series of events for the week including art sessions, which will see pupils from local schools get together to make canvasses depicting their understanding of compassion with the support of Art Matters artists.

And working in collaboration with Monica Dyer, the portrait artist, we are also organising master art session for members of the public to get involved.

The weeklong celebrations will end with a Bring and Share picnic where we will be joined by our refugee families, hosts, volunteers, and friends to connect and celebrate our diverse community.
