Refugees Welcome Wolverton
Refugees Welcome Wolverton (RWW) is the first of what will hopefully be several under the heading of Community Sponsorship.
RWW aims to give refugees a better future by resettling and integrating a refugee family in Wolverton. As the project gets underway, there is significant work to be done before we are able to help a refugee family under the Community Sponsorship scheme: We need to finish forming the core team with a fundraising and housing leader before we can work together to gather donations and of course, a house, and then we can begin to change the life of a refugee family and welcome them to Wolverton. Thank you for your patience as we work to get to this point.
If you are interested in helping Refugees Welcome Wolverton, please email us at
rw.wolverton@gmail.com
When we have all the leading roles filled we can begin to work together as smaller groups to get this project off the ground!
