World Refugee Day Umbrella Parade

On 20 June, hundreds of refugees, asylum seekers, and their supporters will march through London to celebrate the protection of refugees. Everyone who takes part will be given a huge white umbrella to carry, as a symbol of care and shelter, representing our proud tradition of offering safety to those in need of international protection. Similar parades are also taking place in eight other cities in Europe so we will be marching in solidarity with thousands of others across the continent.

We hope that as many people as possible from across the UK will come along on the day to enjoy the march and celebrate with us on this exciting day. Everyone is welcome, so please bring friends, family and colleagues and help us celebrate our proud tradition of offering a place of safety to those who have suffered war, torture and persecution.
