This year we were delighted to award Denise Wright with our Sanctuary in Community Award. Denise started us off on our journey to become Belfast City Of Sanctuary, with the City of Belfast itself declaring itself to be a City of Sanctuary. It was presented to her on the occasion of our AGM held at Queen’s University of Belfast on 30th May 2025. The University itself has recently become a University of Sanctuary.
In accepting the award, Denise gave us a sampler of the training she still delivers to counter hate crime and to promote awareness of racial prejudice and hate. She has vast experience in this work.
Congratulations to Denise on her award, so richly deserved!
