Manchester City of Sanctuary are thrilled to share this report about their recent Volunteer Placement Project.
Liz Hibberd, Strategic and Partnership Lead - 'We have been able to match people seeking sanctuary to meaningful volunteering opportunities across the city, and these placements have had an incredibly positive impact on people's lives and the communities they live in. This type of connection and integration is so powerful and builds strong links across ages, races and experiences. Thanks to everyone involved and thanks to the National Lottery Awards for All for funding it.
Whilst the funding has come to an end, we're keen to establish long-term funding to ensure the sustainability of this project and to embed it within other boroughs of the city-region.'
