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.

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.

Sanctuary seekers face significant digital barriers but a Dow initiative takes steps towards addressing these challenges. 💻

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' 🕊️
