Organisation Summary

Embrace Sanctuary Australia co-creates communities of welcome, belonging and compassion for those who have been forcibly displaced from their homelands. We create social capital for refugees, trauma informed skills for volunteers and opportunities for cross cultural engagement and understanding.

The global refugee crisis is of a never-before-seen scale, and it requires all of us to play a part in bringing hope to refugees. We have a broad network of schools, churches and community groups who are committed to nurturing & welcoming communities, and places of sanctuary for refugees. We have a proven track record in nurturing deep connections between local and various refugee communities that has seen growing demand for our school’s engagement, as our Sanctuary Family Retreat program, as well as demand for our support of CRISP groups (community refugee sponsorship.)
