Organisations working with refugees and people seeking sanctuary in Oxford joined together yesterday to celebrate Refugee Week.

New Road Baptist Church opened its doors to members of the public offering homemade cakes, live music, face painting and an opportunity to find out more about the issues affecting refugees and people seeking sanctuary.

Asylum Welcome, Refugee Resource, Oxford City of Sanctuary, Oxford Amnesty International, Oxford Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture and Student Action for Refugees (STAR), were on hand to talk to people wanting to learn more about sanctuary in Oxford.

Jessica Mary Hall and Simon Davies provided beautiful live music throughout the afternoon.
