On Wednesday, FODI hosted a special community lunch as part of our contribution to Refugee Week celebrations. The event brought people together from diverse backgrounds to share food, conversation, and friendship, helping to strengthen the sense of community that makes Sunderland such a welcoming place.



The lunch provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate diversity, build new connections, and reflect on the values of inclusion, understanding, and solidarity that Refugee Week represents.
We would like to extend our thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers whose generosity, hard work, and commitment made the event possible. Your support behind the scenes and throughout the day helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone who attended.



A special thank you also goes to our talented chefs, who worked tirelessly to prepare and serve a delicious meal enjoyed by all.
Finally, thank you to everyone who donated, attended, volunteered, and contributed in any way. Your kindness, support, and community spirit continue to make a real difference and help bring people together.
