Tales of Love & Loss

Free – donations welcome

Picture a mother seeking asylum in the UK. What do you see? A poor helpless refugee who should be pitied or a powerful, resilient woman who would lay down her life for her family? An ignorant woman who can’t speak English or mother with a wealth of knowledge and experience who may well speak many languages. What you imagine may be far removed from reality.

In this performance you will meet inspirational mothers from around the world who will share stories of Love and Loss. Women who didn’t want others to suffer as they suffered so they volunteered for the Refugee Council to support their peers. Women who change peoples’ lives with their kindness and tell stories you will never forget.

This performance is being produced with SBC Theatre, the UK’s first Theatre Company of Sanctuary.

Stream live on 20 June or watch after the event below.

Free – donations welcome.
