GM Sanctuary Seekers VCSE response

Supporting the rights and needs of people seeking sanctuary in Manchester is one of the Policy and Influence Team's policy priorities. Below you can see the work we are doing in this area.

GM Sanctuary Seekers Community Response Group

GM Sanctuary Seekers community response group is for organisations across Greater Manchester who support the rights and needs of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants.  

As well as providing a space for collaboration and the development of partnership approaches, the group also functions as a peer support space for VCSE leaders. It is a space to meet up and share updates and insights, discuss challenges, advocacy and campaigns, and increase knowledge of where to seek support and information. 

The space is also used to contribute to and coordinate responses to policy developments in Manchester, with regular updates from the asylum contract board. 

The group is currently made up of local infrastructure and service delivery organisations delivering support to sanctuary seekers in Greater Manchester. We welcome those from all sectors who have an interest in how sanctuary seekers are supported in Greater Manchester.  

If you would like to be added to the group mailing list and/or attend the fortnightly online meetings, please email Milly via [email protected]  

There is also a GM Sanctuary Seekers WhatsApp group for members to share recent and time limited updates, resources, and requests. To join this group please email Milly with your telephone number.
