Refugee Week is a unique opportunity to celebrate the positive contributions that refugees and asylum seekers make to the UK and to promote understanding about why people seek sanctuary. Since it began in 1998, Refugee Week has developed into a high profile event that challenges negative stereotypes of refugees and asylum seekers and brings people together on a national scale.
Last year over 450 Refugee Week events were held throughout the UK.
