Union Chapel: Music & Sanctuary

0:00On March 29th, Union Chapel in North London's Isenton just earned Church of Sanctuary Status from the City of Sanctuary Network. This spot doubles as a historic church and killer music venue, and now it's officially celebrated for its hands-on help to homeless folks, asylum, seekers, refugees, and migrants. Beyond the gigs, they've been running solid projects to support those groups for years. Think Big Name acts like Amy Winehouse, Birk, Billy Bragg, Ed Sheeran, and Elton John lighting up the stage there? Reverend Kathy Bird called it a profound honor, shining a light on the whole Chapel crew's compassion. The award came straight from move and founder, Indurgit Bogle, at a special event on-site, building right off Isenton's Burl of Sanctuary nod back. In 2023, this status spot lights their top tier work, learning from Sanctuary Network to Erie Seekers, weaving in real inclusion, and spreading that vibe wide. It's sustained excellence in action.
