Community events
To help foster vibrant, safe, and supportive communities Cornwall Council's Resettlement Service works in partnership with:
- charities
- volunteers
- residents
- community groups and
- schools
on various events and campaigns throughout the year.
“There’s a huge amount of energy and activity bubbling through our grassroot organisations. We are determined to nurture their capacity to play a leading role in resettling refugees.”

Refugee Week 2026 in Cornwall
Refugee Week takes place from 15–21 June 2026. It celebrates the skills, talents and strength of refugees and people seeking safety.
This year’s theme is “Courage.” It focuses on the bravery it takes to leave home and start again.
Events will be held across Cornwall, including exhibitions, performances and family activities. They are a chance to learn, share stories and meet new people.
Everyone is welcome to join in and support a welcoming, inclusive Cornwall. Watch this space for details of events.
