Webinar: Tackling misinformation

Across Wales, many people are feeling the pressure — rising costs, stretched services, and the sense that communities are being asked to do more with less. At the same time, conversations about asylum and refugees have become louder and more polarised. It can be hard to know what’s accurate, what’s changing, and what it really means for your area.

Behind the Headlines is here to help make sense of it, clearly, calmly, and without agenda. By bringing together reliable information, real-world experience and practical insight, the project supports communities to have more informed, balanced conversations — and stay focused on what matters locally.

Join our next webinar to understand what seeking sanctuary actually looks like in Wales to grow your confidence when having conversations on this topic.
