Celebrate Refugee Week
Refugee Week will be held from the 16th to 22nd of June this year, and while we work everyday to support our refugee community, we wanted to highlight a couple of special events happening at Space2b through June. We hope that you will visit us in support of these events and of course all the refugees we have been blessed to be able to assist on their journey to find freedom.

Karen Creatives Product Show Case
We will be launching the “Next Door Artisans” products here at Space2b mid-June, for Refugee Week. This range is the result of our work with the Karen Group, refugees from Myanmar. We’ve been honoured to work with this wonderful group, helping them to develop their creative identities and use their skills to produce beautiful products. We’ve also been fortunate enough to meet a dedicated and skilled group of mentors as well as the Wyndham Park Community Centre, also committed to supporting and welcoming refugees.
