Any local authority (to include county councils, districts, boroughs or city councils, unitary councils, London boroughs, combined authorities, metropolitan boroughs as well as parish and town councils) can apply to become a member of the network.

There are two types of membership:
 

  1. Awarded member – Local Authority has gone through the award appraisal process and gained recognition*

     
  2. Non-awarded member – Local Authority has signed up to the vision and values of City of Sanctuary and has committed to working towards the award


* please note that local authorities who were awarded as part of a City-wide recognition process or a self-recognition process (which no longer exists) will be classed as awarded members but will be expected to submit an application form within six months of their membership application. Your local group and/or regional coordinator will be able to clarify for you

In applying for membership

1. We support the City of Sanctuary vision that the UK as a place of welcome for all - committed to justice and solidarity for people seeking sanctuary. By joining the City of Sanctuary movement, we align ourselves with its values and principles and commit to applying them within our own context, as far as we are able.
We recognise and value the contribution of people seeking sanctuary, and we strive to ensure that they are welcomed, supported, and have access to empowering opportunities within our work or activities. We will seek to engage with and support our local City of Sanctuary group and are happy for our name to be included on a public list of City of Sanctuary supporters on the website.
By joining the movement, we agree to receive City of Sanctuary communications and are open to being contacted with ideas for turning our support into practical action, as well as exploring opportunities to work together to further promote the vision.

2. We agree to work towards a City of Sanctuary Local Authority Award with the aim of becoming a recognised Council of Sanctuary and are also willing to be added to a list of members of the City of Sanctuary Local Authority Network on the website
