Lewisham as ‘Sanctuary Borough’

Citizens Advice Lewisham supports Lewisham as the first Borough of Sanctuary, an award granted by City of Sanctuary UK that recognises the borough’s commitment to welcoming and protecting the rights of all migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.

We participate in the cross-sector Lewisham Migration Forum, which is chaired by Lewisham Refugee and Migrant Network (LRMN). The Forum brings together over 50 members from a wide range of organisations and institutions providing services in Lewisham.
