HSP supports Refugee Week 2025

Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity, and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Founded in the UK in 1998, it takes place every June alongside World Refugee Day (June 20) and has since grown into a global movement across 15+ countries.

This year, Refugee Week invites everyone to explore the theme "Community as a Superpower" a celebration of the incredible everyday. Ordinary and extraordinary. Simple acts of shared generosity. Kindness multiplied to become an unstoppable force.

With over one million participants, Refugee Week unites people through thousands of events and activities, from performances and talks to community gatherings and creative projects. A community-powered festival, it is shaped by individuals, organisations, schools, libraries, venues, community groups, artists, and more.

Refugee Week UK is a partnership project coordinated by Counterpoints Arts, working with a wide network of national partners, organisations, and cultural institutions. 

HSP is part of the Hertfordshire Refugee and Asylum Seeker support network and is using sport and physical activity to improve the lives of Hertfordshire’s Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and other arrivals through engagement in relevant programmes.
