Calderdale Valley of Sanctuary is part of the City of Sanctuary movement, which is committed to building a culture of hospitality and welcome, especially for refugees seeking sanctuary from war and persecution. These local groups from boroughs, towns and cities across the UK and Ireland work to create a culture of welcome across every sphere of society.

Calderdale Valley of Sanctuary strives to create opportunities for relationships between local people and those seeking sanctuary, leading to greater understanding and support from the host community. This kite mark shows that Calderdale takes pride in offering a place of safety and celebrates the contributions refugees and people seeking asylum bring to our beautiful borough.
