City of Sanctuary holds the vision that the UK will be a welcoming place of safety for all and proud to offer sanctuary to people fleeing violence and persecution. In order to realise this vision, City of Sanctuary UK supports a network of groups, which includes villages, towns, cities and regions across the UK, and others engaged in Streams of Sanctuary, Sanctuary Awards and activities intended to welcome people seeking sanctuary.
Thank you to everyone who supported us in making Swindon’s celebrations so sparkling! From poetry to art to dance to music, not to mention a little drama too (intentional, of course!), Swindon truly celebrated the contributions that we all of us make to this town. We can think of no better way of celebrating the diversity of Swindon than through showcasing local – and international – talents through the arts. As anyone who came to our events will have experienced, truth is one, but paths are many. Unity in celebrating our diversity is what it’s all about.
