welcome to Wales

The Welcome to Wales website has been created to help everyone to understand their rights. The website will also help you to learn about Wales and find out where to find help. People seeking sanctuary are welcome in Wales.

Wales is the first ever ‘Nation of Sanctuary’. As people from Ukraine arrive in Wales we want to ensure that they are supported with a full wrap-around service that ensures their safety, sanctuary and access to public services to support them.
