Fundraise for us
Do you want to make a difference to SSR but can't commit to volunteering?
There are countless exciting ways to fundraise, whether it's hosting a cozy coffee morning, hosting an event, tackling fun challenges, or even setting up a collection box in a community/retail space.
If you want to discuss your offer of support, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@shropshiressrefugees.co.uk.
Let's make it happen together!
Become a Host
Do you have an extra room in your home that you can offer to a refugee in need?
Hosting involves providing a private room and access to shared facilities in your home for individuals. By offering a safe, temporary space for those escaping war, conflict, and persecution hosting can also provide essential stability, helping guests to address their immigration status and progress in their lives.
For more information, please email info@shropshiresupportrefugees.co.uk.
Let's Make A Change
“To help the family has been such an amazing experience. The children are such kind and caring humans. Mum and Dad are so grateful and generous. I consider them great friends who would do anything to help as we would to help them. Its so rewarding and I will continue to support my families and others” Becky
“Having spent many years myself in a different culture I always treasured opportunities to get to know people from that society and share ideas, knowledge, friendship and general life outlook. SSR has given me the chance to return that. How else would I ever have got to know these amazing people.
We’re often miles apart in beliefs and lifestyles but what matters is seeing people as themselves and sharing laughter and concerns and common humanity.
SSR makes these things possible” Lorna
“It has meant true friendship - learning about a different culture - celebrating being human - sharing creativity together”
