It’s our way of rekindling the glowing coals of the LIFC spark to turn it into a blazing fire. It’s our way of shining a light in pandemic-darkened world. It’s our way of making a space where everyone can come back together once more.'' - Decro, LIFC Co-Chair<ref>[https://online.littleislandfur.com/2021/#a-message A Message from the Organisers]</ref>
