Lichfield District City of Sanctuary picnic
Rounded off the month with a visit to Middleton Hall in Tamworth, to meet Nigel Gann & Team who offer support and solidarity to Lichfield Refugees, including Afghan, Syrian, Ukrainian, Chinese. I felt humbled to hear their personal stories, but they are able now to rebuild their lives and we all enjoyed the open air picnic and activities.
