In Leeds, we are proud to extend the welcome of our city to people who come here seeking safety. With City of Sanctuary, we want to create a network of people and organisations right across the city, united in making our city more welcoming, open and fair for all. On 11th November, 2010, the movement was launched here in Leeds. We continue to celebrate this commitment, telling more people about th
e idea and getting us all thinking about what we can do for Leeds to be recognised as a city that welcomes and supports all of its residents. We invite you and your organisation – your school, faith group, business, charity – to sign our Promise of Support and get involved in whatever way suits you. Whether you want to display a sign, join a befriending scheme, or just smile at people you don’t know, there’s something everyone can do to help make Leeds more open and fair.
