Supporting refugees & asylum seekers in W. Sussex
Tax deductible
Tom, Jay and Phoebe are running the Brighton Marathon 2024 to raise money in aid of Sanctuary in Chichester and every donation will help us to ensure this locally run charity continues to provide the necessary support to refugees and asylum seekers arriving in West Sussex.
'People are arriving in our area in great need, having lost everything and suffered devastating trauma. We’re committed to welcoming them and helping them to survive before supporting them to integrate, heal and thrive.'
The money we raise will help allow Sanctuary's supportive projects to educate and integrate refugees into our society, helping them find their own pathway to independence.
This community-led charity is only made possible by the amazing volunteers and the generosity of their donors. Thank you in advance for any contribution to this urgent cause that means so much to us.
Love,
Tom, Jay and Phoebe xx
For more detailed information on the work the charity does, please see below:
"The ongoing refugee crisis is the biggest in our time since WW2. We are taking action by:
- Providing newly-arrived asylum-seeking families with the basics, including food, clothes and toiletries. We also give 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 arrive with 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."
Thanks so much for taking the time to read on.
