Community support for refugees in Camden
Hampstead Parish Church Update
We started our application going several months ago. We are making good progress. A supporter has very kindly agreed to make a flat available for two years for our refugee family from the middle of the year which gives us time to get Home Office approval and be ready for our family. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity.Many of you have said that you would like to support the families in some way. We are planning a series of Supporter Sessions, starting early in the New Year to get your input into how you can support and welcome our families and to provide you with the sort of background information you will need. Dates and more details will be in the next newsletter.
Churches Together in Hampstead UpdateWe’ve just begun the sponsorship process and early in the New Year we will need many more volunteers to start the support structure a family will need to rebuild their lives here. There will be plenty of opportunities to help, both large and small! Among other areas, we will need help preparing the applications, locating accommodation, researching benefits/schools/healthcare, finding ESOL classes and welcoming our family.
