Thankyou

We raised £151.20 for The Sanctuary

Thank you to everyone who joined in classes and donated….achieving inner peace and calm while helping a good cause.

The Sanctuary is a project that provides a welcome and support for refugees and asylum seekers in Newport. Their aim is to restore a sense of belonging and community to people who have fled from war and persecution in their homelands and are seeking safety in the UK.

In addition to befriending and emotional support, The Sanctuary offers practical support to refugees and asylum seeker communities in Newport through a wide range of advocacy initiatives. They support asylum seekers and refugees in accessing mainstream services, help develop and utilise skills through volunteering, promote inclusion and emotional wellbeing through social activities and reduce social exclusion by developing English language skills.

The Sanctuary runs a range of activities throughout the week. There are English classes for men and women as well as drop-in services offering help in accessing other services and advocacy.  There is also a Mums and Toddlers group, a Games Night for men and an after-school Youth Club, which provides a safe space for unaccompanied minors to socialise with local young people and access appropriate support.
