1 of the 100 Business Pledge

At the Welsh Refugee Council, we’re proud to launch One of the One Hundred, a movement that’s all about creating a welcoming Wales for sanctuary seekers. Our mission is simple: we’re calling on 100 Welsh organisations to take a stand and commit to fostering inclusivity and understanding in their workplaces.

Wales has a rich history of offering refuge to those fleeing danger, but sanctuary seekers still face real challenges in our communities and workplaces. Misinformation about the asylum process and a lack of awareness about the struggles these individuals face can make it even harder for them to feel like they belong.

 

This is where One of the One Hundred comes in. By joining this pledge, your organisation will take concrete steps to make a real difference:

 

Rethink: Book a specialist awareness-raising session to equip your team with a deeper understanding of the challenges sanctuary seekers face.

 

 

Respect: Update your onboarding process to include key information about Wales’ Nation of Sanctuary vision and the reality of seeking sanctuary here.

 

 

Rebuild: Work with the sanctuary-seeking and refugee sector in Wales to celebrate Refugee Week and amplify their voices.

 

Becoming One of the One Hundred isn’t just about social responsibility – it’s about building a more diverse and compassionate workforce. When your organisation signs up, you’re sending a powerful message: that you believe in a Wales where every sanctuary seeker feels welcome, supported, and seen.

Together, we can create a more inclusive future for Wales. Join the movement today and make your organisation a part of something bigger.
