Welcoming Afghans
A Three-Year Journey of Hope and Integration
Discover how we’ve spent the past three years developing and launching a range of initiatives to help integrate Afghan refugees into our communities. From providing immediate necessities to connecting refugees with local churches, our efforts ensure access to healthcare, education, and housing while creating welcoming spaces and lasting connections where they can truly feel at home in the UK.
