Refugee Welcome Wesley Memorial

Our church believes that immigration is beneficial and migrants immeasurably enrich our society.

Through the Community Sponsorship Scheme (see www.sponsorrefugees.org and resetuk.org/community-sponsorship for more details) and the charity Sponsor Refugees, we are currently working on resettling a refugee family fleeing conflict.

Our group formed in November 2021 and we have so far:

• Received a donation of £5,000
• Enrolled with the charity Sponsor Refugees
• Attended introductory training with more planned
• Liaised with CCOW and nearby church sponsorship schemes who have received a Syrian family and a Palestinian family from Iraq.

We welcomed our refugee family in March 2023 and pray that they will settle into their new life in Oxford.
