Because good things are also happening.
Our team visited Castlehill Primary this week to talk all things Scottish Refugee Council.
It was wonderful to hear how great an understanding that the group had about forced displacement, and how well the children engaged in the discussion.
Thank you Castlehill for being #PartOfTheBiggerPicture 🧡

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
