Nation of Sanctuary

The Nation of Sanctuary is an initiative of the Welsh Government which aims to promote community cohesion and the integration of asylum seekers and refugees in Wales by offering them services and financial and social support covering areas such as housing, language, employment and education. Since its launch in 2019, over 80% of the refugees and asylum seekers supported by the initiative have been Ukrainians who fled their nation after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, with the rest being refugees from Hong Kong and Afghanistan.
