We are a bunch of volunteers whose ethos is that of City of Sanctuary.   None of us are paid.   And the people seeking sanctuary in the county are all part of the NCOS community.   That community is the true NCOS.  

We are a registered charity, number 1185663.   We have a board of trustees, 8 at present, though we are permitted 12.   By law, the trustees have certain duties, but NCOS is governed on a day to day basis by an executive committee of trustees and other concerned individuals, including some asylum seekers and people with leave to remain.
