Welcome Agreement

A good welcome includes:
  • Meeting the person as soon as they arrive in the local community - ideally within the first week of their arrival.
  • Meeting up socially with the person.
  • Inviting the person to join in with community activities that the church runs.
  • Showing the person around the local community.
  • Introducing the person to more people living in the local area. The more people they meet, the more they can choose for themselves where they want to belong in the local community.

Welcome Plus

Find out more about Welcome Plus
Are you a church that is already involved in welcoming people seeking asylum and refugees in your local area?

If so, becoming a Welcome Plus church will provide you with training, resources and advice in best practice.

You might choose to run Welcome Boxes, which is an excellent way for newly-arrived asylum seekers and refugees to meet people from your church and find their way around the local area.

Or you might want to run activities in your church building or in a local hotel housing people seeking asylum.

Whatever works best for your church and local community, we will work with you as you develop your refugee ministry.
Thank you. We will contact you with some further information about what it means to be a Welcome Plus church.
