Coventry is working towards achieving City of Sanctuary status. For many years Coventry has offered refuge to people whose lives were in danger in their own countries. Many have lost their homes and families, but they have brought new kills, music, food, ideas - contributing to our vibrant and diverse community.

We want to build on the positive things that go on already in the city by encouraging as many people and organisations as possible to consider how we can make Coventry more welcoming to people seeking sanctuary and to vulnerable migrants.
