The theme for Refugee Week this year is ‘Our home’ and we want to see how we can make our home more welcoming and safer for others. To help, Cartias Portsmouth has two events coming up. On 13th June from 6-7pm Caritas Diocese of Plymouth and Caritas Portsmouth are joining up for an online event to look at how we might be more welcoming to refugees and asylum seekers in our communities. On Tuesday 18th June from 12:30-1pm there is an online networking lunch where you can hear from a parish working with refugees and asylum seekers, with time to discuss and ask questions. Everyone welcome. Registration is required for both events, please visit https://caritasportsmouth.org.uk/ to sign up.
