Hackney Unites are supporting the campaign to make Hackney a Borough of Sanctuary. A place where community groups open their doors to refugees and asylum seekers so that Hackney’s community organisations gain from their skills and experience and they are rapidly assimilated into Hackney.
If you would like to read more about the ‘City of Sanctuary’ Movement in general (upon which we are basing our move towards becoming a ‘Borough of Sanctuary’) please take a look at the excellent website at: www.cityofsanctuary.org
‘Hackney: Borough of Sanctuary’ will launch

Venue: Room 18, Springfield House, 5 Tyssen Street E8 2LY.
