Giving a Wave of Support

Around the world, many communities are facing challenging circumstances. We asked visitors to write a message of hope and peace to local and global communities who need our support, to show our museum is a welcoming space.  

We have worked with local schools who’ve achieved School of Sanctuary status, an award which schools work towards to be welcoming to families seeking asylum, to create a collaborative artwork to celebrate their work and to share why being kind is important to our community.
