On the 22nd February, RMC brought the community together at the Old Library in Digbeth to mark three years since the war in Ukraine began.
On an emotional day we heard from leaders, community members and those impacted by the war as we stood together in solidarity for Ukraine.

Earlier this week I was in Birmingham to hear how @bhuknetwork supports Bosnian refugees. The Srebrenica genocide was one of the worst atrocities on European soil since the Second World War and must never be forgotten, which is why I am proud to support the work of @SrebrenicaUK.

Honoured to be with @bhuknetwork, and @SrebrenicaUK in Birmingham to mark Bosnian Statehood Day. 25 November 1943 when Bosnian statehood was established and whether belonging to a faith or not faith, all are equal.
A timeless message to uphold the universal values of humanity at a time when division, hate and the consequences of it are ubiquitous. 🇧🇦🇬🇧
