ABOUT COMMUNITY REFUGEE SPONSORSHIP
One of the UK Home Office’s only legal routes for refugees to enter the UK, Community Sponsorship is a way for local communities, civil society organisations, charities, and faith groups to be directly involved in helping refugees find sanctuary in the UK.

Community sponsors provide emotional and practical support to empower families to rebuild their lives in safety, and to become self-sufficient members of their new community.
Since 2018 Croeso Menai has sponsored two vulnerable families, one from Syria and one from Iraq, who have started new lives in Wales.

CROESO MENAI TEAM 3 (CM3)
Croeso Menai is working with the Home Office and a Lead Sponsor charity who specialise in Community Sponsorship, to welcome a family. CM3 is made up of local volunteers including two Afghan women. They both live in Bangor, having been granted permission to come to the UK after fleeing Afghanistan. Khatera, who was a University Lecturer in Afghanistan, is studying for a PhD and Zakia hopes to train as a midwife. With Khatera and Zakia as Team Members, Croeso Menai plans to provide a home for an Afghan family that includes women and girls – changing their future prospects through access to education.

Our first task is to raise £9,000 as a fund to be used for the costs associated with providing a home for the refugee family. A house, rented from a supportive private landlord, is being prepared through generous donations of furniture and household goods. We have already raised half the money we need and hope to bring a family to North Wales by the end of this year.
By supporting Kiri’s comedy gig, you will be helping an Afghan family find sanctuary in North Wales.
