Story
Peckham Sponsors Refugees (PSR) has reformed to sponsor a second refugee family to live in the community. We are one of around 100 similar community groups in the UK.
In March 2019, PSR welcomed its first sponsor family to Peckham under the government's Community Sponsorship Scheme. Under the scheme, community groups help support the resettlement of vulnerable people fleeing conflict.
In May 2022, we welcomed our second family to Peckham and are working with the family to help them get settled into life in the UK. We now need additional fundraising to help support the family with schooling and getting through the winter months.
As a group made up entirely of volunteers, any donations you make will go directly to helping the sponsor family.
Our support to the family is for one year, during which we prep the house for their arrival, filling it with food and comforts; we meet them at the airport and transport them to their new home; assist them with registering with services, learning English and finding work; and support them to becoming self-sufficient.
We are supported in our Community Sponsorship by Sponsor Refugees which is part of Citizens UK.
