We are a voluntary, not-for-profit community group in Gloucester, UK.

 

We are working towards welcoming a refugee
family to Gloucester and helping them resettle into our community under the UK Government’s Community Sponsorship scheme.

​

We are raising money so that we can proceed with our application to the Home Office, which requires us to have a minimum £9,000 fundraised; money which will be used to cover resettlements costs - including furnishing the home, interpretation costs, language tuition.

 

Community Sponsorship is a scheme set up by the government in 2016 which enables local people to group together and directly enable the resettlement of refugee families.  We have partnered with Citizens UK, a registered UK charity, who provide guidance to the group and oversee the project.

​

If you wish to donate, your donation will be directly supporting our aim to offer a refugee family the chance of a new life here in the UK.

​

We will be planting a tree in our local community for every £1,000 raised.  We feel that this is a way in which we can give back to the community and help build a pleasant environment for everyone.
