For those looking to welcome

There are lots of ways to welcome – whether it’s helping with the airport pick-up, finding a school place, or having everyone round for a cup of tea once a week – every contribution adds up. 

Many people worry they don’t have the time to welcome, but as part of a group there is flexibility and support for welcomers as well as newcomers and we are here to offer advice and guidance at each step of the way.
