Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre is gearing up for one of its biggest events post-lockdown.
Later this month, SMRC will be joined by hundreds of migrants, refugees and community members to celebrate Refugee Week.
Arthur Wren Hall in Hampton Park will be home to a day filled with culture and activities for families to enjoy.
Locals can enjoy a free halal barbecue from The Rotary Club of Berwick, cultural performances to celebrate and highlight diversity and family friendly activities such as face painting, Henna and a kid’s circus.
A special appearance from Melbourne City Football Club is sure to get soccer fans excited, while the Monash Health Vaccination Bus will also make an appearance, offering free Covid and flu vaccinations.
The theme of Refugee Week is healing and focuses on rejuvenation and healing post-lockdown.
Refugee Week runs from 19- 25 June, with SMRC’s event being held on Sunday 26 June from 11am to 3pm.
