City of Sanctuary Sheffield – Overview

Our vision is to build a culture of safety and welcome for people seeking sanctuary. Sheffield was the first place in the UK to become a City of Sanctuary in 2007; we are now part of a national network linking towns, cities, schools and universities, sports teams, libraries and many other organisations across the UK. The national network is a great resource and support for our local work.
