This Refugee Week, we’re celebrating the theme of This Refugee Week, we’re celebrating the theme of Courage, recognising the strength and resilience shown by refugees as they rebuild their lives and communities.

At OTR, we believe everyone deserves access to the right support when they need it. If you or someone you know is seeking information and guidance take a look at our refugee support signposting resources.

Together, we can create welcoming communities where courage is recognised and supported. 💙

🌈 Happy Pride Month 2026! 🌈 This Pride Month, we 🌈 Happy Pride Month 2026! 🌈

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, creativity, and joy of LGBTQIA+ communities everywhere.

While progress has been made, many LGBTQIA+ people still face barriers to living safely, openly, and authentically. That's why Pride remains as important as ever, a time to celebrate who we are, support one another and continue advocating for a more inclusive future.

At Freedom we're proud to provide a welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ young people to connect, build friendships, find support, and be unapologetically themselves. Everyone deserves to feel seen, valued and respected.

This month, and every month, let's champion acceptance, challenge discrimination, and create communities where all young people can thrive.

Confidentiality Statement

Anything you talk about with one of our team is kept totally private within OTR. We won’t share what you tell us with anyone else. But if there was an extreme situation, like if you or someone else was at risk of being seriously hurt, then we would need to break confidentiality to keep you safe.

If this happened we would discuss it with you first and do our best to make sure you were involved in any decisions that have to be made. We know this can be scary and you might not want us to share anything, but we will support you through the whole thing.
