Northumberland County of Sanctuary is a charity run by a small group of dedicated volunteers. NCOS supports people as they navigate the challenging asylum process and settle in to their new homes across Northumberland. Our aim is to empower people who are often marginalised, vulnerable or misunderstood, and to promote inclusion in the wonderful communities of Northumberland. We hold a weekly women's groups and drop-in sessions in partnership with the British Red Cross, and regular 'meet and eat's, football matches and days out during school holidays. We also do our best to procure bicycles, furniture and all the other things people need in their new homes.
