Joining the movement is a simple way of showing your support for our vision of a UK that truly welcomes people seeking sanctuary.
Individuals can join to become part of our community of supporters. Organisations can join the movement as the first step toward pursuing a Sanctuary Award. Any organisation, regardless of legal status, can become a Supporting Organisation by joining the movement and making a voluntary annual donation to show solidarity.
I support the City of Sanctuary vision of 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, I commit to upholding its values and principles and to putting them into practice in ways that are meaningful and appropriate in my own life and community.
I recognise and value the contribution of people seeking sanctuary, and I aim to help ensure they are welcomed, supported, and have access to empowering opportunities through my actions, activities, and everyday choices. Where possible, I will look for ways to support my local City of Sanctuary group and the wider movement.
By joining the movement, I agree to receive City of Sanctuary communications and am open to learning more about practical ways I can show solidarity, take action, and help promote the vision.

It also helps us understand how we are reaching and engaging people within certain parts of the UK and through our work with different types of organisations and institutions.
