Refugee Support

We have supported Syrian and Afghan refugee families with everything they need to set up home and settle in, including food until such time they became self-sufficient. In 2022 we have begun also to support Ukrainian families, with New baby packs and now with Home Starter packs as they move out of their sponsored homes into independent rented accommodation.
