Portsmouth City of Sanctuary (PCoS) are a charity funded only by donations and grant awards, to support local asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in Portsmouth, Gosport and the surrounding areas. We aim to make a difference to the lives of people fleeing persecution from their home countries and who consequently suffer trauma. PCoS are experts at making these people feel welcome and without state funding, we need a bigger purse to provide the fantastic services we offer.

PCoS is always looking for new ways of integrating asylum seekers and refugees into Portsmouth communities, from clients performing at Refugee Week and taking part in sports activities to volunteering for a Beach Clean. There are many ideas we have and your donations will help us deliver exciting projects, from employing talented project leaders, paying for materials, booking venues for sports, and creating wellbeing activities, to name a few. We have a track record of producing great outcomes.
