Sanctuary in Senedd
by Welsh Refugee Coalition

11.00am – 2.00pm Wednesday 7th December 2016

People across Wales continue to provide a warm welcome within our communities for those fleeing violence and persecution. National and local government in Wales provide integration support and enable access to services such as health, social care and education. However, there is still more to be done if we are to realise our dream of Wales becoming a Nation of Sanctuary.

Please join the Welsh Refugee Coalition on 7 December at the National Assembly for Wales (the Senedd). We would like you to share your experiences and to meet policy makers and politicians so we can all better understand how we can work together to ensure that Wales plays a full role in supporting people seeking sanctuary.

We will be in the Senedd from 11:00am-2:00pm with a programme full of discussion and debate led by asylum seekers and refugees living in Wales. Lunch and refreshments will also be provided. We would love you to join us. Book your free ticket online now.
