Back in the summer of 2015 we were moved by images of refugees seeking sanctuary from war and violence and motivated to put our faith into action. Since then we’ve been involved in variety of responses from sending aid to Athens and Calais, helping to reunite unaccompanied child refugees with their families in the UK and more recently sponsoring a Syrian family through the Community Sponsorship of Refugees scheme. It has been an extraordinary experience as we have embarked on the journey of helping a family to build a new life in the UK. As one of the first community sponsors in the country we are committed to sharing our experience and encouraging others to get involved and have a go themselves.
