Reset is the UK’s Community Sponsorship Learning Hub.
Community Sponsorship is a new way of welcoming refugees in the UK that values the expertise of local residents and prioritises the creation of meaningful relationships between refugees and host communities.
We were set up in 2018 to coordinate the growth of the Community Sponsorship movement across the UK in order that it could realise its full, transformative potential.
Our mission is to enable as many communities as possible to welcome refugee families.
Our work has 4 key strands:
- Training and support for sponsors and sponsored refugees
- Advice for Local Authorities, Lead Sponsors and other stakeholders
- Research, monitoring and evaluation aimed at understanding how Community Sponsorship works best
- Policy development and advocacy to ensure the evolution of the scheme in a way that works for sponsored refugees and host communities
We receive funding from the Home Office and philanthoropic organisations. Find out more about who we work with.
