Cafe Hope BBC Radio 4 interview with Rossana Leal
Community Connections Cafe Hope
18 May 2026
Our founder Rossana Leal joined Rachel Burden last week for a powerful, personal conversation about fleeing Chile in the 80s, and how that journey became the heartbeat of the Refugee Buddy Project's work with people seeking safety in the UK today. Cafe Hope is Radio 4s virtual coffee shop for people making change happen in real life, and this episode is all about welcome, solidarity and what it really means to stand beside someone starting again.
