Sanctuary Northern Rivers

Welcome to Sanctuary Northern Rivers!  Sanctuary Northern Rivers Inc. is a community based group situated in the Northern Rivers region of NSW.  Lismore is our home base, with many of our supporters from towns and supporters from the surrounding  towns and communities.

It has been our privilege since 2003 to represent the aspiration of our community in supporting refugees.  The main effort of our endeavours has been to assist refugees gain a humanitarian visa in order that they may find a home where security and harmony and peace provides them with a new hope for their future.  Indeed, it has been an honour to walk with these refugees in along this road.

Our work has an expanded focus on advocacy for the refugee plight, and we have made small in-roads in supporting refugees, many of whom are unable to join us, in their current settings.  Read more about the work we do and the inspiring people that we have journeyed with.

Membership Renewal Time

By becoming a member of Sanctuary, you will be joining a community of people who understand the richness that a diversity of cultures brings to a community and who recognise that by opening our hearts and doors to new arrivals, we not only enhance our community, but we create an environment in which successful refugee settlement can happen.  This is the fundamental reason we need members – to be a part of the community that makes refugee settlement in our region viable.

We need people who know about the work of Sanctuary to stand with us in what we do.  Together we can help to make this community a welcoming one for new settlers

We are only 19 members short of our target of 100 for this year.  Please encourage another to join with us.
