In a time of growing displacement and shrinking aid, it’s more urgent than ever to choose solidarity with refugees over silence.
Let’s build a world where welcoming refugees is the default. Where we listen, act and stand together. 💙

Sadly you couldn’t make this up:
Man aggressively interrupts women filming a report about creating safe spaces for women.
A mother and daughter sharing their story on feeling unsafe had to stop as he became verbally aggressive, perfectly proving why such spaces are needed.

Today, we bid a fond farewell to the cast of The King's Speech! 👑
Thanks to all the team for creating such a beautiful production that has meant so much to our audiences.
It has been a joy, and we hope to see you back at the Watermill soon.
Very exciting stuff!

We stand in solidarity with Gisèle Pelicot.
Her powerful words and courage on behalf of other survivors to change the narrative is nothing short of admirable.
