Dwayne and Bronagh were delighted to hear Wan and Claire's presentation at this event on Wednesday. A wonderful and inspirational story.
A reminder of how powerful #welcome #hospitality and #sanctuary expressed through community sport can be for community cohesion here in Leeds

Great to hear from Claire and Wan and learn about being a Sports Club of Sanctuary and the Battle of Holbeck Moor.
“To say you are anti racism, “anti” implies action.”

We're still buzzing with ideas after the Hook Lecture!
Richard's talk has sparked conversations on racism, justice, and the church's part to play.
It was fantastic to catch up with the LCI community. Thanks for joining us!
