Sanctuary Community Holidays

We want there to be holidays like these in communities across the UK. Will you join with

us?
We can support urban refugee and asylum seeker agencies and rural communities that are keen to make a holiday happen.

We have developed a Handbook for guidance and offer our experience and support to start you off as you make it your own.

If you are a rural community, this is what you need to get started: a group of friends who want to get on board and warm hearted people who are happy to offer a bedroom in their home for the holiday.

If you are an urban refugee and asylum seeker project, get involved if you want to see transformation in the lives of the people you work with.

We will help you create and mix the ingredients for a holiday particular to your area. Don’t underestimate the confidence, trust and improved wellbeing that the kindness of a community can make together.

Let’s talk about it. Get in touch- let’s make it happen!

If you are inspired and want to learn more about starting your own Sanctuary Community Holiday, or maybe you just want to hear about the amazing holidays that we have already done, you'll find below a series of podcasts and films that tell the stories and also explain how to do it!

We want there to be Sanctuary Community Holidays all over the UK. Join in!
