The Schools of Sanctuary Network is a largely grassroots movement, promoted and facilitated primarily through the efforts of our local City of Sanctuary groups and some supporting partner organisations and/or local authorities.

The City of Sanctuary UK team are supported by a network of Local Leads; identified people within local City of Sanctuary groups, partner organisations and/or local authorities who take the lead on the programme. Local Leads are responsible for promoting Schools of Sanctuary within their local area, supporting interested schools through the process, managing appraisal panels and engaging with the Schools of Sanctuary Team. All the while, Local Leads support the Schools of Sanctuary network in their local area by upholding the City of Sanctuary UK vision of welcome and the City of Sanctuary UK values.

Use the map below to see where our Local Leads are based in the UK. Please note, those in purple are local City of Sanctuary groups, those in navy are local authorities and those in light blue are partner organisations.
