Sanctuary in Chichester
The refugee crisis is the biggest in our time since World War II. Sanctuary in Chichester are taking action by:
- Supporting newly-arrived asylum seeking families to avoid destitution. Sanctuary also gives these often deeply traumatised families wrap-around support and, if needed, language tuition. Once they are safe and settled, we support them with social activities to improve their wellbeing, and ensure they are ready to maximise livelihood opportunities if they are granted asylum and allowed to work.
- Supporting refugee families (who have leave to remain and the right to work) to integrate into and contribute to their new community, find work and rebuild their lives.
- Providing social and pastoral support for unaccompanied asylum seeking children.
- Supporting individual asylum seekers to avoid destitution and help prepare them for their future, whatever that may hold.
