This week, Lambeth Council will be flying the Refugee National Flag over Lambeth Town Hall to mark National Refugee Week.
Established in the UK in 1998, Refugee Week takes place every year around World Refugee Day (20th June) and has since grown into a global movement with over 2 million participants, across over 20 countries.
Through a programme of thousands of events, activities and media campaigns, Refugee Week looks to bring together people from different backgrounds to “connect beyond labels, and foster a deeper understanding of why people are displaced, and the challenges they face when seeking safety.”
The flag (pictured above) was designed by Syrian-born artist Yara Said and first used to represent the Refugee Olympic Team in 2026.
