For the final day of our 30 Days of Welcome, we were honoured to speak to Asylum Welcome’s co-founder, Diana Tickell.

Diana takes us back to the organisation’s earliest days, when a small group of people came together to support refugees and asylum seekers in Oxford.

A lot has changed since then, but the need for welcome remains as strong as ever.

Asylum Welcome is celebrating its 30th birthday in September 2026.

Help us continue.
