We were delighted to welcome John Harris, as our guest speaker, from Harrogate and Knaresborough District of Sanctuary at our Speaker meeting at the Crown Hotel on 17th July. John”s heart-felt talk provided a real insight into work of \u00a0the Organisation.<\/div>\n
Harrogate District of Sanctuary<\/span><\/a><\/span> supports over 30 Resettlement Families and between 250\/300 people fleeing from war-torn #Ukraine<\/a><\/span> into the District.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Who is seeking Sanctuary<\/h3>\n
Families seeking resettlement come from #Afghanistan<\/a><\/span>, #Syria<\/a><\/span>, South Sudan, #Iran<\/a><\/span> and #Iraq<\/a><\/span>. The support work includes, providing Befrienders from the local area, language classes and networking opportunities to help families integrate and meet others from similar backgrounds. The Organisation role includes \u00a0supporting families with having the stability and knowledge to gain British Citizenship<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Ukrainian families are generally One-parent families as the men have stayed behind to fight in the war. The Sanctuary’s support work involves English language lessons, organised social events and networking opportunities. The families have quickly become self-sufficient in organising events and providing community support.<\/div>\n

How we can help?<\/h3>\n
There are ways we can help #Harrogate<\/a><\/span> and #Knaresborough<\/a><\/span> District of Sanctuary by:<\/div>\n
