Other roles within Swansea City of Sanctuary

Management Committee

As a voluntary organisation, Swansea City of Sanctuary is primarily run by the Management Committee. This is a group of 14 Trustees. We intend to register as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) within the next year. Trustees are responsible for meeting monthly to decide what the organisation’s priorities should be, how its money gets spent, and what to do if the organisation runs into any difficulties.

Our Management Committee aims to reflect the needs and priorities of Swansea City of Sanctuary’s Members, Pledged Supporters and the city of Swansea. We organise Networking Meetings throughout the year which provide opportunities for Members and Pledged Supporters to discuss challenges and opportunities.

From time to time we convene meetings of people seeking sanctuary and those working directly with them in order to exchange information and facilitate partnership working. Project and policy updates from these meetings also inform the Management Committee’s planning.

If you are interested in volunteering as a Trustee, please contact our Secretary via [email protected].
