This month, Belong Aotearoa celebrated 20 years of connection, courage, and community. Our anniversary event brought together friends and partners from across Aotearoa for an afternoon of reflection and joy with inspiring speakers, MC Sam Low, and plenty of kai and laughter. As CEO Angela Wilton shared, this milestone is both a celebration and a call to keep working toward a fairer, more inclusive future. Alongside the festivities, Belong continues its advocacy work, meeting with political leaders to ensure migrant and refugee voices are heard as we look ahead with hope to the next 20 years.
