UK Welcomes Refugees came into existence after months of listening and a series of discussions about community sponsorship and resettlement of refugees. We seek to promote, protect, and build a powerful Community Sponsorship and support Movement in the United Kingdom, working closely with partners, associates, and allies.
UK Welcomes Refugees mission is to campaign for a real and transparent Safe and Legal Route for refugees to take when seeking sanctuary in the United Kingdom. This is done by actively supporting Community Sponsorship of Refugees so that UK communities can play an active role in the welcome and resettlement of refugees.
We believe that it is vital to have a strong collective voice that can bring community sponsors, sponsored families, lead sponsors and the wider community sponsorship and wider resettlement family together to lead the community sponsorship movement, and build successful Community Sponsorship, Resettlement and Support schemes in the United Kingdom and across the globe.
