Nottingham City of Sanctuary
We are working towards Nottingham becoming a City of Sanctuary. In the city and county, we already have flourishing but hard-pressed groups who help people seeking sanctuary to become part of the wider community. We want to help local groups and organisations to welcome, integrate, and appreciate people seeking refuge and asylum more actively.
