One town, many stories.



Welcome to Northampton Town of Sanctuary (NToS)! We are a charity, founded on 12 November 2015, that promotes a culture of welcome for people seeking asylum in Northampton. In 2016, it launched its youth group Learn2Live (L2L). The organisation partners with local schools, faith groups, voluntary organisations, and businesses to build a town-wide movement of sanctuary.
As part of the national City of Sanctuary network, NToS encourages groups to pledge support for refugees, offering safety, friendship, and inclusion. While the number of asylum seekers in Northampton may be small, the focus is on solidarity and compassion. NToS envisions Northampton as a welcoming, safe, and supportive town for those in need.
