A warm welcome to our brilliant new Chairperson, Tony Toynton! He has brought with him a wealth of knowledge and experience, and is dedicated to supporting refugees and asylum seekers to thrive in in their new lives in West Sussex.

“I am honoured and delighted that the Board of Trustees have elected me as their new Chairman. Roger Pask will be a hard act to follow as he did such a fantastic job setting up Sanctuary in Chichester and all that it has done so far. Now that Sanctuary in Chichester is fully established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation I see my role as making sure it is properly governed and financially secure for the future. I have been hugely impressed with the work so far, I have some new ideas that I hope to share at the upcoming AGM and I commit to doing all I can to ensure that all of our refugees and asylum seekers are given the best opportunities to become fully integrated into their new adopted communities in and around Chichester.”  – Tony Toynton, August 2019.
