Reflection on Refugee Week 2026 - Voices from the community

In this podcast episode, Sibati shares a personal perspective on Refugee Week 2026 as someone with lived experience of migration, a community leader, and an active volunteer supporting refugees and migrants across London.

Drawing on experiences from the Borough of Greenwich, Sibati highlights the challenges faced by individuals and families living with insecurity, particularly those affected by the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) policy.

The podcast explores the importance of dignity, belonging, and creating space for people with lived experience to speak for themselves rather than having their stories told by others.

This episode is a call for greater understanding, more listening and less judgement, reminding us that behind policy debates are real people seeking stability, opportunity, and the chance to build a better future for their families.
