Welcome to Swindon City of Sanctuary

We aim to promote a culture of welcome, inclusion and support for everyone in Swindon, with a focus on those seeking refuge.

In practical terms, we work to do this by bringing people and organisations in our community together, providing practical support through projects, running community events, raising awareness and campaigning for social justice, therefore, contributing to the wider, national movement that is City of Sanctuary.

Explore our website to discover what our latest projects are, how to pledge your support & help our cause and find out what events we have coming up!

Swindon is a wonderfully diverse, welcoming town and we want to celebrate this, building on the help and care already given to asylum seekers and refugees through organisations like The Harbour Project by bringing our community together.

City of Sanctuary

About

City of Sanctuary is a movement to build a culture of hospitality for people seeking sanctuary in the UK. Our goal is to create a network of towns and cities throughout the country which are proud to be places of safety for people seeking sanctuary and helping them integrate into their local communities.

Through creating a national network of Cities of Sanctuary, we aim to demonstrate the desire of people of goodwill throughout the country for a more just and humane approach to people seeking sanctuary in this country.
