Afghan and Medical Evacuation scheme families resettlement
Lambeth Council is progressing its sanctuary seeker support strategy, which includes support for Afghan and Medical Evacuation scheme families.
Lambeth Council's sanctuary seeker support strategy, which aims to improve support for asylum seekers and refugees including those from Afghan and Medical Evacuation schemes, is showing progress. An update to the Adult Social Care and Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee in October 2026 reported that 15 of the 27 actions outlined in the strategy's plan have been completed.
Nine further actions are currently in progress as part of the strategy, which was published in March 2026 following the borough's re-accreditation as a Borough of Sanctuary in December 2025. The strategy was developed with input from individuals with lived experience to amplify their voices.
