Refugee Week kicks off today with a bold challenge to come together to create meaningful change.

After last year’s first ever virtual Refugee Week, this year the programme is back with an amalgam of real- life events as well as virtual discussions, cookery lessons and chats with celebrities.   The sheer number and variety of events can be overwhelming. But no fear, here are IMIX’s top 9 picks that you shouldn’t miss.  

The UK is home to a glittering roster of famous people from refugee backgrounds including celebrities, Nobel scientists and sports stars. 

It’s been grim reading with newspaper headlines predicting ‘Windrush on steroids’ with concerns about vulnerable groups at risk of losing their right to remain in the UK and forced into the hostile environment overnight. So, let's investigate what we should be watching out for come the 1 July… 

If you have a natural storytelling ability and a passion to work on digital communications across the refugee and migration sector, apply to be the IMIX Digital Communications Manager.

We are looking for an experienced media director to support our high performing team to work across the migration space to find case studies, train spokespeople, craft messages /campaign material and talk to journalists.

While fundamentally, we are all on the same side, we have a wide range of views and policy aims that don’t always sit comfortably together. This means building consensus can be hard and that is okay. 

Are you passionate and impact-driven with extensive financial experience? Apply to be IMIX's Treasurer and help us achieve our vision to create a welcoming Britain to people who make the UK their home.
