Sanctuary

A community that connects you to people and information when you need it. A community that gathers together sharing in the highs and lows over a cup of tea, games or artwork.

Hastings and St Leonards

Hastings Community of Sanctuary

We work to raise awareness of the issues facing refugees and people seeking asylum, run collections for essential items and raise funds to support local projects.

The Links Project

Their free drop-in sessions provide advice and support on housing, healthcare, and legal issues to asylum seekers, refugees and migrants. They work closely with local services to ensure tailored support.
