10 years apart. But now finally reunited. Hassan fled Afghanistan in 2014 after the Taliban threatened his life. He went first, hoping to bring his family to safety soon. His daughters were just 1 & 3 years old. But when his wife’s visa was refused, it shattered all their hopes.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to the launch night of our Giant Dolls' House Project 'Voices of Wandsworth' installation at BatterseaArtsCentre last night - and, of course, to the 200 plus residents who created this amazing body of art exploring what home, community, and sanctuary mean.

I enjoyed the celebration event for the start of Refugee Week on the theme of ā€˜Community as a superpower’! Over 100 people enjoyed music, food, dance and visiting the Council and Voluntary sector information stalls. Thank you all for a memorable evening.
