The Facts About Sanctuary

The Facts About Sanctuary

Your guide to informed, compassionate conversations about asylum.

The Facts about Sanctuary provides clear, accessible information about people seeking sanctuary in the UK. But facts alone don’t change hearts and minds. This guide encourages you to bring your own thoughts, experiences, and humanity into the conversation – because connection is what truly transforms understanding.

Use it as a standalone resource to feel informed and prepared, or pair it with our Courageous Conversations guide for the complete toolkit: the facts to ground you, and the skills to engage meaningfully.

Why this matters

When we stay silent, others fill the void. By speaking up – with both knowledge and empathy – we can reshape the narrative and create the fair, compassionate communities we want to live in.

Share this resource with friends, family, colleagues, community groups, or anyone who wants to have better conversations about sanctuary. Together, we can make our voices heard.
