Count down to Christmas with us!

Visit our Christmas Resources and sign up to Journey to Christmas with Refugees to prepare a refugee-welcoming Christmas at your church!

Our vision is for every refugee to be welcomed by a local church

If every church welcomed people seeking refuge in their community then we could easily see our vision become a reality!

No matter where your church is, there is something that you can do to welcome refugees and asylum seekers into your community.

Finding the Peace

In response to recent riots and protests across the UK, we have joined forces with Redeeming Our Communities (ROC) to help churches and communities respond to the needs of their communities at this time. The ‘Finding the Peace’ initiative is being designed and implemented at pace in communities at particular risk of unrest that could benefit from immediate support. Find out more about the initiative and how you can lend a hand here!

Churches Connect: Empowered People

Get ready, UK Churches! We’re launching a series of 6 Churches Connect across the nation for all churches, and Christians from refugee background! Don’t miss out on this powerful event of worship, growth, and connection as we explore the incredible role refugees are playing in reviving our churches. Keep an eye out for more dates near you!
