Welcome to our website!
The Chester Group of the City of Sanctuary is a local volunteer group promoting a culture of welcome and hospitality for those in our area who are seeking sanctuary from persecution and war.
We are affiliated to the UK-wide City of Sanctuary movement but we are an independent charity organising our own activities, including:
- Supporting local initiatives which improve the experiences of sanctuary seekers.
- Collaborating with local groups who offer a welcome to sanctuary seekers.
- Developing a network of accredited “Places of Sanctuary”.
- Advocating for a sanctuary seeker system that is fair, compassionate and well-managed.
- Promoting events and activities which celebrate “Refugee Week.”
The Chester group meets monthly – please contact us for further details.
