belfast city of sanctuary
Belfast
The intention of this group is to make Belfast a welcoming environment for
refugees, asylum-seekers and new communities. Wherever refugees go in our
neighbourhoods we want them to feel safe and to find people who welcome them,
support them, include them in their activities, recognise and celebrate what
they can contribute. We want to build that same culture of welcome in our
schools, workplaces, entertainment centres, places of worship and all public
spaces. We hope to work with all those in public services, both at policy level
and on the frontline, to ensure that an ethos of civility and welcome pervades
at all times.
