🌍💙 Refugee Sanctuary Scotland is wishing all dads across the globe a very Happy Father’s Day! 💙🌍

Today we celebrate the strength, love, sacrifice and resilience of fathers everywhere. 👨‍👧‍👦❤️

For those fathers who are separated from their children, families and loved ones because of conflict, displacement or circumstance, know that distance cannot diminish the love you carry in your hearts. 💔➡️❤️ No matter how many miles lie between you, your families are with you in your thoughts, your memories and your hearts today and always. 🕊️🌎🤝

To every refugee dad — whether surrounded by family or longing to be reunited with them — we honour you and send our warmest wishes. 💙✨

Happy Father’s Day! 🎉👔👨‍👧‍👦🌟💙🌍🕊️❤️🤗🌈🙏💐✨💙💛💚🧡💜

🌍💙 Happy World Refugee Day! 💙🌍

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, courage, and contributions of refugees around the world. 🕊️✨

At Refugee Sanctuary Scotland, we stand in solidarity with refugees and people seeking asylum, recognising their journeys, talents, hopes, and dreams. 🤝❤️ Every person deserves safety, dignity, opportunity, and a place to call home. 🏡🌈

World Refugee Day is a chance to raise awareness, show compassion, and celebrate the incredible diversity that refugees and asylum seekers bring to our communities. 🌍🎉💛

Together, we can build welcoming communities where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. 🫂💙🌟

To all refugees and people seeking asylum: we see you, we support you, and we celebrate you today and every day. ❤️🕊️🌻

🎉🌍✨ Today, Refugee Sanctuary Scotland proudly celebrated our Refugee Festival Scotland 2026 exhibition event at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow! 🖼️📸💙

This inspiring exhibition is the result of a wonderful collaboration between the Gallery of Modern Art and Refugee Sanctuary Scotland as part of Refugee Festival Scotland 2026. 🌟

The exhibition responds to *Still Glasgow*, the photography exhibition in GoMA's Gallery 3. Over several weeks, participants met at the gallery, explored the exhibition with curator Katie Bruce, and reflected on what Glasgow means to them. 🏙️❤️

With support from the GoMA Learning Team and photographer Haneen Hadiy 📷, participants used disposable cameras to capture their own unique perspectives of the city. Together, we selected and curated these powerful images, with some accompanied by personal reflections and written stories about their experiences of Glasgow. ✨📸📝

A huge THANK YOU to all our amazing participants who made this exhibition possible: 💐👏
