Everyone at FODI is getting excited for Refugee Week in the week beginning 16th June. We’ve already had two successful preview events- the ICOS picnic in Backhouse Park at the end of May and the Big Lunch on the Minster green on 8th June, both well attended and full of good will. The packed programme kicks off with the Walk for Sanctuary on Monday, 16th
and continues with a string of food events, a football tournament, a cricket match, a panel discussion and a children’s party. FODI Chair Steve Newman says: ” Refugee Week is such an important landmark in our calendar. We hope that our service users and members of the local community will come together in a spirit of friendship. As the theme of this year’s Week says, community is a superpower. Kerpow!
