Helping people to settle in the UK

Community Sponsorship

The Community Sponsorship scheme allows groups of friends and neighbours, charities, and faith groups to support a family when they come to the UK.

Community Sponsors receive training and support from the charity Reset. You must be able to commit to offering support to a family for one year.

Community Sponsorship support includes:

  • practising conversational English
  • showing people around the local area
  • registering children in schools and adults in English classes
  • helping people access public services, for example, registering with a doctor
  • setting up a bank account
  • finding suitable housing
  • arranging transport and running errands
