We're proud that under Labour, Lewisham became the first Borough of Sanctuary in the UK – a commitment to making sure everyone rebuilding their life here is treated with dignity, welcome and belonging.
This Refugee Week, events are happening right across the borough – bringing people together and celebrating everything refugees and asylum seekers contribute to our communities.
That commitment has meant real investment in the local organisations doing brilliant work on the ground. It's wonderful to see the small grants programme delivering cultural events, community support and wellbeing activities across Lewisham.
