Dear friends,

As Russia’s war against Ukraine rages on and thousands of people are forced from their homes, it is easy to feel powerless. But we're not. Together we are strong and our voices are loud.

We have put together eight ways we can stand in solidarity with Ukraine and make a difference to those who have had to leave everything behind. From making a donation to lobbying your MP, we all have a part to play. Click here to get going.
This is people power

These headlines are all from the last few days. This is City of Sanctuary: when help is needed, we are there.⁣
⁣
Whilst our Government has been slow to respond, City of Sanctuary groups and councils are poised and ready to step up.⁣
⁣
The work each and every one of you does to support this movement of welcome, to build mainstream support and to lobby for political change is vitally important. You are the change.⁣ Thank you everyone.⁣
Talking to children about war and conflict

Talking to children about what's happening in Ukraine can be really hard. Our Schools of Sanctuary lead has put together this resource to support you in helping your child navigate the news they’ve been seeing and how they feel about it.

We are living through dark times, but we hope the City of Sanctuary networks can be a source of comfort and inspiration to you, as it is to us.

Please continue to share your plans, events and actions with us.

In solidarity,

Sian, City of Sanctuary Chief Officer x
