Lambeth Sanctuary Services
There are many different types of sanctuary seekers, like resettled refugees, asylum-seekers, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, people who have insecure immigration status and no recourse to public funds, and people in the UK on sponsorship.
Lambeth Council endeavours to provide equity of access to services for all sanctuary seekers.
