The weekly Lunch & Learns give Community Sponsorship groups a forum to discuss topics that are relevant for resettling and sponsoring a refugee family in the UK. Topics range from How To Build a strong Group to Preparing for the End of the Sponsorship Agreement and all groups are encouraged to join.
They are hosted on the second and fourth Friday of every month at 1:00-2:00pm by Sponsor Refugees. On Wednesdays at 5:30-6:30, Reset hosts their weekly drop-in sessions.
You can sign up for all of them below.
Drop-in Clinic
The drop-in clinic is a new concept from Sponsor Refugees that provides groups with a platform to discuss issues and ideas that may not necessarily fall under a specific topic but nonetheless require discussion. It enables members and volunteers to exchange ideas, resources and solutions across groups. Attendees are welcome to submit questions and/or topics beforehand.
