Story

Refugee families who have escaped war and brutal atrocities in Syria, face years in refugee camps. Through the Community Sponsorship scheme via the Home Office, we can support a family and offer them safety in the UK to build a new life.

Please join us on a journey through 2021 as we raise funds to support this family and welcome them into our communities. Our logo represents the welcoming hands of the people of Devon, with love to the people of Syria and bear witness to the tragic events that have taken place in their country.

About the charity

We are a charity working to promote and provide community led welcome for displaced people. Our aim is to provide the type of friendship and practical support that anyone would hope to have if they were forced, under such circumstances, to start over in a new and unfamiliar place.
