Sanctuary Citadel builds on the proven success of our Citadel work, which shows that people need more than access to housing to rebuild their lives. Wrap-around support, including practical help, trusted relationships and a welcoming community is vital in helping people find a home, sustain their tenancy and feel they belong. For people seeking asylum and newly granted refugees in Wales, these needs are even greater due to additional barriers such as language, complex systems and the impact of trauma. Sanctuary Citadel brings trained volunteers alongside people at this critical point, offering practical support like completing forms and navigating services, so individuals can move forward with stability, dignity and hope.
