Today, the UNHCR estimates that there are over 82 million people displaced across the world due to war, persecution and conflict. Among them are 26 million refugees, with half of them being under 18 years of age.
We believe the church is uniquely positioned to support and welcome refugees and asylum seekers in our community and beyond. Through our Refugee Response projects and initiatives, we want to help refugees within our communities by setting up home and life in the UK.
REFUGEE YOUTH SUPPORT
Helping young refugees rebuild their lives through World Vision’s Adolescent Friendly Spaces in Jordan
We are privileged to work with World Vision UK and support young refugees in the Azraq refugee camp in Jordan and provide practical and psychosocial support to help them rebuild their lives and future.
REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT
Through the Community Sponsorship Programme of the Home Office we have the amazing opportunity to resettle refugee families in our cities.
We support them with finding housing, setting up their home, and find their feet as they build their new lives in the UK. So far we have resettled 8 families from Syria and Afghanistan. We hope to welcome more families in the nearby future!
FOOTBALL UNITED
Through our Football United programme dozens of young refugees and asylum seekers find a place where they can forget about their challenges, engage in sports, make friends and build their confidence and skills.
Football United provides a place where young refugees and asylum seekers who are new to the UK find a community that is safe, inclusive and supporting.
