The city of Bradford has a proud history of welcoming and including newcomers from all corners of the world. The City of Sanctuary Bradford campaign was officially launched on 1st October 2008, with a vision to see this culture of welcome and hospitality extended to include those seeking sanctuary in our city.
We celebrate the huge contribution that asylum seekers and refugees bring to the city and want to see this more broadly recognized. We aim to challenge some of the misinformation and negative stereotypes already in the public domain. We hope to stimulate opportunities for those seeking sanctuary to participate fully in the life of this city.
We are very grateful for generous financial support from the Cooperative Local Members Committee, CNet’s Grassroots Grant, as well as much practical support from Touchstone Methodist Centre
