Our Resettlement teams are there to offer a warm welcome to refugee families and individuals arriving to the UK via a Government sponsored scheme, from the moment they step off the plane.
Once housing has been found, we work to ensure that families and individuals have access to English classes, local healthcare, and therapeutic support so they can begin to manage the trauma they have experienced to feel more at home.
"I love my previous home in Ethiopia and my new home - both of them. Coming to this craft group, I learn new things [and] I socialise with new people. I'm thankful to the people of UK, I'm so happy here.' - Ayanto
Our community groups and projects help refugees make new friends, become more confident and feel settled.
Our craft group in Sheffield is a place for women to improve their English and find support. Their skills have flourished and so have their friendships. The group’s theme this year is ‘home’.
"I thought I'd do a hand - it's the helping hand I got here in the UK. Although I'm happy here, I miss my home in Sudan, so I wrote in Arabic 'Sudan, you are dear to me my homeland.' I'm going to put it on the fabric." - Nemat
