And belonging grows from that, as we build it together 💙 #Courage #Belonging
This Refugee Week, courage is taking the first step.
At Sanctuary Runners, that step is always met with a welcome. From there, connection grows and belonging follows. #Integration
This Refugee Week, the theme is courage 💙 We see it every week, in the first step, in saying hello, in starting something new. #Community #SpeirGorm

Today, we stood in solidarity with the Congolese community outside Leinster House. In a time when division and fear are growing, we came together to stand for solidarity, friendship, and respect, the values we wear on our backs and carry into our communities every day. #Solidarity
Yesterday on Ray D’Arcy Daily, Ray spoke about how coming together in support of our shared values should underpin who we are as a society. "Organisations rooted in integration, welcome and solidarity can be beacons of hope at times of division." shows.acast.com/69a1ba88f0bb... #SpeirGorm
👕🇨🇩 Today we stand in grief and solidarity with the loved ones of Yves Sakila and the Congolese community in Ireland, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to equality, compassion, and a society where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
