Refugee Week

Last week was refugee week and I had a lot of fun helping out with the 'Something I hope for' exhibition that was set up to go in the library in Leeds. There's more information and photos on the Integrate blog. It was a great pleasure to see some lovely people creating some beautiful art.

We also had a session at our youth project, for refugee week, which involved activities, discussions and information. A lot of this was aimed at dispelling some of the myths the media tell us about asylum seekers and refugees, and to promote open discussion.

Live at Leeds

What a great bank holiday weekend. This Saturday we spent the day at Live at Leeds, where the purchase of a wrist band will get you in to venues all around the city, showing great live bands.

I saw favourites Tigers That Talked at Joseph's Well, followed by the fantastic Wild Beasts. We then popped over to Holy Trinity Church, which proved to be a stunning location for the beautiful sound of Fionn Regan. This was a particular highlight.
We then spent a long time queuing for the Maccabees, but eventually made it in, which I was glad about, it was a fun gig.
