Refugee Week is a UK-wide festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. It takes place every June, during the same week as World Refugee Day on 20 June.
Refugee Week 2026 took place from 15 to 21 June with a national theme of ‘courage‘. Read more about the local celebrations:
If you’re interested in getting involved next year, Refugee Week 2027 will be 14 to 21 June. The theme will be announced soon. We encourage communities to apply for grant funding to hold events that will build an understanding of different cultures, promote community cohesion, and celebrate diversity and belonging.

We have consistently committed to supporting refugees in Cambridge to resettle and feel safe, welcome and part of our community. We work closely with local community groups and voluntary organisations, and have been helped with offers of private-rented and housing association properties.
