There are a number of ways you can support take a look at our 'Get Involved' page to see what suits you best.

IT'S OFFICAL!

Our application to resettle a refugee family to the UK has been given full approval by the UK Home Office. We are delighted our hard work has paid off and we are now getting ready to welcome the family shortly.

We will be looking for furnishings and household equipment for when our refugee family arrives. If you can help, get in touch with us.
