May each day we welcome people who have fled danger with warmth, compassion, and dignity - offering not just food or support, but friendship and belonging. Because no one should ever feel like a stranger when they seek safety.

Every Saturday, refugee friends and Wapping residents gather in the JRS UK garden 🌱. This summer we’ve shared potatoes, onions, and even a winning sunflower 🌻—and now the beds are full of carrots and cabbage. A little patch of joy, grown together.
