Stories of Hope and Home  brings together people with lived experience of seeking sanctuary in the UK to build community in a place they now call home and to explore and share their stories and life experiences. (www.storiesofhome.org.uk)

Written and performed by members of Stories of Hope and Home, “In The Shadow of the Trees” is based on our personal stories of seeking sanctuary. It uses the trees that have been the backdrop for our stories to explore memories of the places left behind, the places passed through on the journey, and the places where we are gradually finding a new home and creating dreams for the future.
