Why does Conwy support sanctuary seekers?
Local authorities across the UK play an important role in supporting vulnerable people who have been displaced by conflict, persecution or humanitarian crises. Conwy participates in a number of Government-funded programmes that provide safety and support for those in need.
Can sanctuary seekers work?
Work rights vary depending on immigration status and the scheme under which a person has arrived in the UK. Many people supported through resettlement programmes can work and contribute to the local economy.
