Refugee Week | Community as a superpower

Refugee Week is coming soon! This year’s theme, community as a superpower, celebrates the incredible everyday, the power of collective action, and simple acts of generosity that when multiplied become an unstoppable force. 

“Boaz gave me a home. I can't go away for two days without missing my home! I have bonded and formed a sisterhood with the other women at Boaz.”  - Aimee*

Together, let's unleash the power of community this Refugee Week. Find ways you can get involved below.

Support our van-tastic fundraiser

As part of our Warm Welcome, Firm Foundations focus for 2025-26, we're fundraising for a a van to help our housing team look after Boaz homes as we increase our capacity.

Simple Acts

Simple Acts are everyday actions we can all take to stand with people seeking safety and make new connections in our communities. They range from actions like watching a film or getting creative, to sharing a meal or learning something new.

You can find some more inspiration from our Instagram account, including reels on books to read in Refugee week and a random simple acts generator!
