Your Resolution of Support - The First Step

The first step in your support for City of Sanctuary is to pass a resolution of support and to send it to the City of Sanctuary Group. We have suggested a form of words below. Do feel free to vary this.

It will be very helpful to us if you agree that we can include your organisation as part of a list of people who have pledged support.

Please send your resolution to: Swansea@cityofsanctuary.org

"We support the initiative to make Swansea into a recognised 'City of Sanctuary', welcoming those fleeing violence and persecution in their own countries. We recognise the contribution of refugees and those seeking sanctuary to the City of Swansea. We are committed to taking practical steps to welcome and include them in our activities and are actively seeking ways of supporting them wherever we can. We are willing for our organisation's name to be added to a list of supporters of City of Sanctuary. We are also willing to be contacted by the Swansea City of Sanctuary group with further ideas for how we can turn this pledge into practical action."
