Sandwell has a proud history of supporting individuals and families resettling. Everyone who seeks to make our borough their home is welcome here – no matter where you are from in the world.

The Sandwell Borough of Sanctuary Partnership is a partnership between the council, local community groups and residents who want to make Sandwell a more welcoming place for all. A ‘Borough of Sanctuary’ is a borough which provides a welcoming place of safety for people who are asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants.
