Well done to our English Speakers of Other Languages (Rest of the World) team for beating our Uniformed Protective Services (England) team 8-1 in a student charity football match to celebrate #RefugeeWeek. Thank you, too, to everyone who helped raise money for @refactyork

It's been such a JOY to see people have used @manjitthapp's "Our Home" art to create their own designs.
Look at Ganna Bielcheva's beautiful design for @refactyork's programme of events!

Still buzzing from the great work we did with @BritishRedCross, @refactyork, @blueberrypopup, and @LordMayorYork looking at the refugee experience and creating empathetic, evocative art.
Thank you @TwoRidingsCF

Wonderful to see @YorkSports1 host Refugee Action York for a fabulous morning of tennis, cycling, badminton, football and volleyball for asylum seekers. Mornings like these are vital in creating an inclusive and welcoming community in York for all🧡 #RefugeesWelcome

🚨BREAKING: We are relieved that the Court of Appeal has ruled that Rwanda is not a safe country for people who claim asylum. However, we're disappointed that they have not concluded that the overall policy is unlawful.
