During the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, ordinary people undertook extraordinary acts of courage. Join us for a special event at Uffculme to celebrate these unsung heroes.
The event will be hosted by our Chief Executive, John Short, and will feature 3 speakers talking about their experiences:
- Lejla Damon - Born out of war time rape 23 years ago will share her experience of being rescued and adopted by British journalists

- Waqar Azmi OBE - Chair of Remembering Srebrenica
- Amra Dautovic - Genocide survivor and Psychologist will share her experience of becoming a child refugee as a result of the war, and how she now helps others address trauma and mental health issues.
The event will take place on Thursday 26 July 2018 between 12pm and 3pm at our Trust's Uffculme Centre, Queensbridge Road, B13 8QY.
