Manchester City of Sanctuary
@manchestercos
People who seek sanctuary, fleeing war & persecution, are looking for mercy, safety & a place to contribute. Manchester can be that place - a city of sanctuary.

As a Manchester-based refugee charity, we see every single day how wrong the PM is. Our city is a shining example of solidarity, diversity and inclusivity. And guess what? We couldn’t be prouder. So of course we signed Asylum Matters 🧡’ letter! #SolidarityNotStrangers 👇



⚽ “Some people don’t even know what address they were living in last year - let alone 3 or 5 years ago - when you’re fleeing from persecution...” Great article by Beth McCowen on vital work of Rochdale AFC Rochdale AFC Community Trust City of Sanctuary UK 🧡 Manchester City of Sanctuary #SportForABetterWorld


Lovely to see this, Joanna Midgley! 🧡 By providing a welcoming space for connection and support, Families of the World promotes the health + wellbeing of families as they adjust to their new home. We’re super proud of our Galleries of Sanctuary here in #Manchester! 🖼️


We agree! Make sure you get to Horizons Festival! 🤩 Refugee Action’s ‘Asylum Justice is Racial Justice’ event last night was so powerful. Looking forward to the launch of Women Asylum Seekers Together 🧡’s ‘More in Common’ exhibition this afternoon! 🧡


💬 "the programme creates a sense of belonging and unity" Rochdale AFC's Hope Football project is the perfect blueprint for getting people seeking sanctuary involved in sport. Read ours and Rochdale AFC Community Trust's thoughts 👇 connectsport.co.uk/research/footb…

Did you know? We’re conducting a study on how people seeking sanctuary can be better supported to volunteer in sports. That’s why Sarah, our Volunteer Placement Coordinator, sat down with Rochdale AFC Community Trust’s Liz Cotterill for this ConnectSport piece on Hope Football! ⚽️🧡

A massive thanks to Beth McCowen for interviewing us + writing such a brilliant article on one of the most inspiring initiatives in #GreaterManchester! ⚽️🧡 ConnectSport Rochdale AFC Community Trust
