Story
Community Sponsorship is a UK government programme which lets a group of local people - whether a faith group, charity, friends or a business - get together and plan to receive a refugee family in their village, town or city. This is being done as a sub-group of Ripon City of Sanctuary. It offers hope to a refugee family currently stuck in the Middle East or North Africa and which has no other hope of resettlement to the UK. Before we can receive the family, we need to show the Home Office that we have raised £9,000 to cover our costs.

~ The total on this page only shows donations via JustGiving, and not our total to date. As of 1 June 2021, we've raised donations/pledges of £4,883.17.
Somewhere out there, right now, is the family we will bring to Ripon.

3 years agoHi! Thought you'd like to know that our donations total - online and offline - is now £3,704.42, with a minimum target of £9,000 before we can apply to welcome a family (although we think we'll need more because of the cost of housing in Ripon). And the great news is that we now have our dedicated bank account, so people can donate AND Gift Aid it! All details are here: https://ripon.cityofsanctuary.org/community-sponsorship/donate

Great project. Just a shame it is not clear how to give with Gift Aid which would give this amazing cause a 25% uplift
