To all those who celebrate it, Nowruz Mubarak from the North West Migrants Forum.

RAMADAN...And so we enter the month of Ramadan. We at the North West Migrants Forum want to wish a peaceful month and Ramadan Mubarak to all our members and everyone around the world who observes it.

Our Black Heritage NI: Hidden History exhibition has gone on display in Museum of Free Derry.
This unique exhibition traces Black history from the era of the Vikings right through to The Troubles.
It has already been viewed over 2,000 times. Now you can see it, free of charge, by calling into MOFD.

A new year doesn’t need louder opinions, it needs clearer facts.

In 2026, FactCheckNI will keep checking claims, explaining the evidence, and separating fact from spin in Northern Ireland.

Because accuracy still matters.

May your Christmas Day be filled with love and joy. From everyone at the North West Migrants Forum.

CHRISTMAS EVE...As you pull the curtains and settle in for the evening, please spare a thought for those around the world cast to the wind through circumstances not of their making.

Last week was a busy one for us with back-to-back workshops in The Gasyard Centre and in Creggan Neighbourhood Partnership. It is in measured, controlled environments like these that so-called legitimate concerns should be addressed, not through violence on our streets.
