So proud of Hani for sharing his story in front of so many people in English.

Powerful to hear from #CommunitySponsorship groups about the joys of sponsoring a refugee family in one’s own community- life changing for all involved. #RefugeesWelcome #RefugeeWeek2019 @SponsorRefugee

Thrilled to be @StokeyLitFest to hear Dina Nayeri and Nick Thorpe speak from their encounters with many refugees. #Refugeeswelcome #stokeylitfest

Coming up on Fri 31st May: "Syrian Refugee Community Iftar 2019" - organised by British Syrians in London at which #CommunitySponsorship will be highlighted. @SponsorRefugee is pleased to be supporting @RefugeeWeek @great_together https://t.co/hqfQkHnf7f

I know we are non-partisan at NHWP but Tommy Robinson isn’t legitimate. And this made me happy #RefugeesWelcome

[Aditya Chakrabortty @chakrabortty]

Reason to be cheerful:
Voters humiliated Tommy Robinson, while electing former child refugee Magid Magid to the European Parliament. One guy has a lot of dry cleaning to do; the other will work on replacing our carbon economy.
There’s a future for Britain beyond hate.

Great celebration this week of #communitysponsorship for refugees @HHWR_ As @helenhayes_ said, the scheme shows the best in humanity, badly needed at this time of growing divisions and anger in UK and globally.

“ #CommunitySponsorship brings the best out of communities. It empowers both community leaders and newcomers. Good for host community; Good for newcomers.”- @BekeleWoyecha at the Community Sponsorship event in Waterlooville.

The #CommunitySponsorship group in beautiful Budleigh Salterton, Devon has worked hard to hit its £9k target but is struggling to find a suitable house/ flat. Can anyone help?

[Stoke Newington Shul @StokeyShul]

Recently our community, as part of @NH_Welcome helped welcome a Syrian refugee family to the area. Those looking after their relocation are seeking 3 bikes for the family, suitable for 13, 17 and 19 year olds respectively. Please message us if you are able to help. Thank you.

THREE WEEKS: one family member started ESOL yesterday, her English is already pretty good, so I hope lessons are something that bring her confidence. Always nice to be good at something! Thanks to @elattlondon for their support #RefugeesWelcome #CommunitySponsorship

[North Hackney Welcome Project @NH_Welcome]

Day 20: working with the eldest to realise his plan to study computer technology and the younger two have had appointments at schools today. We are determined to be supportive facilitators to the family’s hopes. #RefugeesWelcome #CommunitySponsorship
