Coffee Bank for sanctuary seekers in campus cafés
We are delighted to support the ڹϳ City of Sanctuary Coffee Bank initiative in cafés on campus. Instead of ordering your usual cappuccino, buy two drinks and leave one in the bank to support local sanctuary seekers and ڹϳ City of Sanctuary!
Maggie Filipova-Rivers, ڹϳ City of Sanctuary Manager, said:
“We are thrilled to see yet another brilliant initiative to be launched by the ڹϳ, an initiative which will facilitate contact among members of our diverse community and ultimately foster an environment of understanding and welcome for people fleeing war and persecution. Thank you to all for the hard work getting this set up in the most unprecedented of circumstances”.
