HBTSR formed in September 2015, as the global refugee crisis escalated. We joined City of Sanctuary soon afterwards.  We are a registered charity, No: 1173570

We are a member of Together with Refugees Coalition    and also Lift the Ban Coalition. 

We are a group of volunteers [ we have no paid workers]  welcoming people seeking sanctuary, raising funds to help them and encouraging our political representatives to put policies in place for a kind and fair immigration system. As  a group, our supporters are  of all faiths and none and all political persuasions : what unites us is our common humanity and compassion for others.

We will try to do our best  in all circumstances but are all  volunteers also coping with everything else that life throws at us.
