In a sentence – A place of safety and welcome in the heart of the city
In-depth – The Sanctuary aims to rise above the unjust constraints placed on people seeking sanctuary by providing a beautifully designed space in the heart of the city that is safe, welcoming and supportive. Visitors to the Sanctuary are welcomed by our volunteers and offered a hot drink and a calm place to sit, where they can participate in conversation groups and other social activities and find out about more about activities and opportunities around the city. It is a place where people are welcomed and listened to, and a place where people can discover the best of Sheffield as a City of Sanctuary.
Temporary Closure of The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary will reopen on December 10th and will be open every Tuesday from 10am to 4pm, including a free community meal at 12.30 pm every Tuesday. We will be closed for a Christmas break on December 31st.
Starting in January, we’ll gradually open more days and we will share updates here about this. This gradual reopening allows us time to settle back into the space thoughtfully.
We have been working to build a space that is effective, resilient and beautiful; in short a model of the world we all want to see. We cannot wait to welcome you all back into the redeveloped space.
People can continue to access the Multi-Agency Drop-In and SPRING support.
