Signing the organisational pledge is a simple way of showing your support for our vision of a UK that truly welcomes people seeking sanctuary. For any organisation looking to pursue a Sanctuary Award, signing the pledge is the very first first step.
Any organisation, regardless of legal status, can sign up as a Supporting Organisation by signing the organisation pledge below and making a voluntary annual donation to show your solidarity.
We support the ‘City of Sanctuary’ vision that the UK will be a welcoming place of safety for all and proud to offer sanctuary to people fleeing violence and persecution.
We endorse the City of Sanctuary Charter, and agree to act in accordance with City of Sanctuary values and apply the network principles within our work (as far as our specific context enables us to).
We recognise the contribution of people seeking sanctuary. People seeking sanctuary are welcomed, supported and have empowering opportunities within our context.
We will work with and support our local City of Sanctuary group and are willing for our organisation’s name to be added to a list of supporters of City of Sanctuary, linked on the website. By signing the pledge I am agreeing to receive City of Sanctuary mailings and we are also willing to be contacted by City of Sanctuary with further ideas for how we can turn our support into practical action and to discuss ways we might work together to promote the vision further.

Organisational Members can vote at our AGM. An organisation can become an Organisational Member if it shares the vision of City of Sanctuary UK. The organisation will need to nominate a representative who will vote on their behalf. If your organisation does not have a constitution or registration eg as a business or charity, you can register separately as an Individual Member. More information about membership can be found here.
The Nominated Representative will vote on behalf of the organisation at the CoS AGM.
Any donation would be gratefully received. We suggest the following amounts based on an organisation’s income levels:
