Portsmouth City of Sanctuary is appalled at what is taking place across the UK currently.
We send love and solidarity to anyone who is affected. Every human life, regardless of skin colour, religion or place of birth, should be valued.
The people seeking sanctuary in our country should be treated with kindness and support. They should be able to live in safety and without fear.
Anyone who is affected is welcome to contact us or visit us and we will support you.
