Sanctuary, The

About us

The Sanctuary is a place of safety and welcome in the heart of the city. It is a project of Sheffield City of Sanctuary, an independent charity working in solidarity with people seeking sanctuary in Sheffield.

We are located at 37-39 Chapel Walk, and we aim to rise above the unjust constraints placed on people seeking sanctuary by providing a beautifully designed space in the heart of the city that is safe, welcoming and supportive.

Our volunteers welcome visitors to The Sanctuary and offer a hot drink and a calm place to sit, where they can participate in conversation groups and other social activities and find out more about activities and opportunities around the city.

The Sanctuary is a place where people are welcomed and listened to, and a place where people can discover the best of Sheffield as a City of Sanctuary. You can find full details and our opening hours on our website.
