Information - A History of Refugees in Suffolk
Speaker: Martin Simmonds, Fundraising and Communications Manager at Suffolk Refugee Support
Introduction: Sir Nick Young, Patron of Suffolk Refugee Support and former CEO of the British Red Cross and Macmillan Cancer Support
From the custodians of our most famous buildings to Bond girls and footballers, via forgotten small-boat arrivals, we look at the surprising and sometimes overlooked story of refugees coming to Suffolk across the centuries, their lasting contribution to the county, and the historical context for Suffolk Refugee Support’s work today.
Doors will open at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start. There will be refreshments available afterwards.
