The Welcome Party: An evening celebrating journeys from sanctuary to success with Sir Mo Farah

ACH is hosting this incredible event to celebrate refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in the Bristol workforce. We want attendees to hear, see and literally taste the positive impact refugees, people seeking asylum and vulnerable migrants positively impact the UK more generally and the city of Bristol positively.

The Welcome Party will bring together community leaders, local businesses, and supporters for an evening that promises to showcase the positive impact of diversity and inclusion in the city of Bristol and beyond. Guests will enjoy a drinks reception with musical accompaniment from Sisanda Myataza, and a taster menu representing global cuisines from Sudan, Egypt, and Sri Lanka, all crafted by ACH’s refugee and migrant-led catering businesses.

This event serves as more than just a celebration; it's a platform to advocate for change. By coming together, we aim to challenge and transform the systems that often hinder opportunities for those seeking refuge in our country. We believe in the power of diversity and inclusion to enrich our workplaces and communities. Your presence at The Welcome Party will not only honour the achievements of our diverse workforce but also contribute to the momentum for positive change.

The event, which will take place on Thursday 7th November and welcome Sir Mo Farah for a powerful onstage interview, will help further ACH’s work in changing the systems that restrict opportunities for people seeking refuge in the UK.

Please book your ticket to secure your place at this special event. We look forward to welcoming you as we celebrate diversity, resilience, and the boundless potential of every individual.
