Here's a sneak peek at the newest spotlight case! We recently installed "'Humanity Keeps an Appointment': Community and Care during the World Wars," an exploration of the experiences of nurses during the First and Second World Wars.

Why not take a look next time you're at our London HQ?

Fear is also a border. On #WorldRefugeeDay, our new animation explores how fear shapes the journey of those forced to flee.

Doctors Without Borders offers mental health support to those in need, even when borders close due to prejudice.

📣 Report if you stand with refugees.
