Event Information

Summer is over, students are moving in and university life begins! 

Our weekly conversational classes are held every Thursday between 5:30-7:30, with this first session taking place on 01/10/26. Class begins at 5:30, to get there a Cardiff student-lead walk is organised each session, meeting outside of the university’s Co-op on Senghenydd Road at 5, leaving for 5:10. In these classes, we hold casual conversational English with Refugees and Asylum Seekers over some fairtrade tea, coffee and confectionary! Our work is crucial to the community - creating a safe space and welcoming atmosphere catered towards people seeking asylum and people granted refugee status through our classes, seasonal celebrations and our annual Refugee Rhythms music event! This project doesn’t just stop at Cardiff, with branches across the UK, we are a growing movement!

Highlights from our 2025/2026 year include; sucessfully raising approximatly £300 for the World Food Programme Emergency Appeal for Sudan through our Winter Quiz (with special thanks to the Sudanese Society who really brought the energy!)  and in our annual Refugee Rythms live music fundaiser event (spotlighted by the STAR national network) we once again raised approximarly over £300 for the World Food Programme Emergancy Appeal for Yemen! 

In the tabloids, on social media and in Parliament, anti-asylum and anti-refugee sentiment is echoing, and it is only getting louder. Join the Student Action for Refugees and let it be known, that all people are welcome- especially Refugees and Asylum Seekers, and that we all share one common home - Earth.
