Registering as a Named Community Sponsor group is a great opportunity and a serious responsibility.  Could your church or community group welcome a refugee family to the UK through the new Named Community Sponsorship route? 

Following on from our earlier introductory session, join us for a practical two-hour webinar to explore what it could be like for your church or community group to register as a Named Community Sponsorship group.  

Learn from those with first-hand experience of setting up and running a Community Sponsorship group, who will share practical insights into the process of registering as a Sponsor Group, preparing to welcome a refugee family, and the realities of supporting a refugee family to settle into your local community.

We will also share any further information about the new scheme that is available at the time of the session.

During the session, we will explore:

• Requirements for registering as a Community Sponsorship Group

• Responsibilities of a Community Sponsorship Group

• Training, resources and support available 

• Financial commitment

• Time commitment

• Steps in preparing to welcome a resettled refugee or refugee family

• Questions frequently asked by churches and community groups considering Community Sponsorship

There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

This session is for church leaders, churches and community groups interested in participating in Named Community Sponsorship, as well as individuals who would like to explore what getting involved might look like.  No previous experience of Community Sponsorship is needed for you to attend.

Join us to learn from those with first-hand experience, ask your questions and explore the practical next steps towards welcoming a refugee family.
