Adam Hub welcomed Lord Dubs for a fireside conversation exploring refuge, public service and moral responsibility through one of the most remarkable lives in modern British public life.
Lord Dubs arrived in Britain at the age of six after fleeing Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia on the Kindertransport. He later served as MP for Battersea, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Director of the Refugee Council and became a leading advocate for unaccompanied child refugees through the Dubs Amendment.
The conversation explored the experiences that shaped his commitment to public service, his decades in Parliament and the House of Lords, and the principles that continue to drive his advocacy for refugees and asylum seekers.
For those in the room, the discussion offered a rare opportunity to connect personal history with contemporary questions about leadership, compassion and the responsibilities that institutions and individuals carry towards people seeking safety.
The event reflected the role Adam Hub is seeking to play as a space for serious but accessible civic conversation, bringing established leaders into direct dialogue with younger generations, community figures and people interested in public life.
By creating space for lived experience, difficult questions and thoughtful exchange, Adam Foundation aims to encourage a form of leadership rooted in service, empathy and responsibility.
