We all have a part to play in building a welcoming and inclusive society.
We are a national network of healthworkers, refugee charities and people with lived experience of the asylum system. Together we are working to raise awareness and improve conditions within health services for people seeking sanctuary.
Health services play an important role in the lives and wellbeing of people seeking sanctuary, but lack of tailored information provision can mean people are left unable to access the care they need.
We work to ensure health services are inclusive for everyone and that healthworkers understand the unique challenges facing people seeking sanctuary.

Please note, unfortunately, due to funding constraints, we lack staff capacity to support the expansion of the Health Stream of Sanctuary at this time. If you are interested in pursuing a Sanctuary Award for a health institution, please contact us at [email protected] so we can advise about our current ability to work on an awards process with you. We also have a network of City of Sanctuary groups across the UK and may be able to link you to the closest one to your institution to support further exchange around sanctuary and health initiatitives in your area.
