With a performance by double Mercury Prize nominee composer, singer and songwriter Laura Mvula, the awards also celebrate people who champion refugees in the UK. The Sue Lloyd-Roberts media award - in memory of the pioneering journalist - recognises outstanding journalism on migration issues. 

The event is free of charge but tickets are on a first come first served basis.
