About community sponsorship

Find out how Community Sponsorship helps refugee families in need build a new life in the UK with confidence and dignity.

How you can help

How do I sponsor a refugee family?  How does the process work?  Reset is here to support you every step of the way.

How we can help you

We’ve designed toolkits to make it easy for you if you’re involved as a lead sponsor or a local authority. 

Training

Wherever you are on the fulfilling and thrilling journey through Community Sponsorship, we have training courses, videos, articles and more, all designed to help your group and the family you support.

Our events

From drop-in sessions to UK-wide networking events, we bring together people and professionals involved in all stages of the Community Sponsorship journey.

Get involved with a group

Make a direct difference in the world by getting involved with your nearest Community Sponsorship group – or starting one up yourself!

Get involved as a landlord

Make an extraordinary difference to the lives of people who have lost everything by signing up to our (free) Landlords for Refugees register.

Get involved as a supporter

Not everyone can donate their time, so if you are choosing to donate money today instead or as well as, thank you. Your generosity is vital to the work we do support community-led welcome of refugees.

Get involved as an ambassador

Help others by sharing your account.  Why were you attracted to community-led welcome?  What worked, what did you learn, what has the experience been like for you?

Who we are

Reset empowers volunteers to welcome refugees into communities across the UK. Find out about us and the kinds of programmes we’ve been involved with.

Our research

Research, monitoring and evaluation are essential for making evidence-based decisions that will support Community Sponsorship to grow and flourish.

Our advocacy work

Sponsoring a refugee family is a significant responsibility. We advocate for Community Sponsors to ensure that they are properly supported throughout their journey.

Our advocacy focuses on representing the views of Community Sponsors to the Home Office to support them in implementing the necessary operational changes. 

We also represent the views of Community Sponsors to other key stakeholders, including Local Authorities, international organisations, the wider resettlement field, housing providers and financial institutions. We also use our voice to campaign on policies  affecting refugees. We are members of the  Together With Refugees coalition, campaigning for a more humane approach to people seeking protection in the UK.
