One asylum seeker said: βWith the constant changes, it feels like there is no rest, just going from one stress to another.β

After a weekend of hate and violence, here's a reminder that sanctuary seekers are always welcome in Wales.
The demonstrations over the weekend were nothing short of disgraceful.
Seeking asylum is a human right and Wales is made all the richer for welcoming refugees.
A passion for the environment inspired Voix Verte, or Green Voice, a podcast for all things environmental.
βI was trying to find something really to express all of this knowledge. Like, climate refugees an how nature around us is really important.β

The decision to suspend refugee family reunification will have devastating consequences for families and children.
The government's continued dehumanisation of asylum seekers will impact those who most need our support.

βIt helps me, as I can get the educational books on the tablet, so it helps me with my studies."
Our talented Oasis band, The Gambas, performed at the @llangollen1947.bsky.social this year with the One World Choir singing powerful songs to describe the special bond of being sanctuary seekers here in Wales and being 'free to fly' and to 'dream of love' ποΈ
