About

Community Sponsorship is a refugee resettlement programme with local people at its heart. Resettlement is what happens when a refugee is moved from a host country in which they’ve sought asylum to a country that has the capacity to support them in the long term.

Reset empowers volunteers to welcome refugees into communities across the UK. We were set up in 2018 to coordinate the growth of the Community Sponsorship movement across the UK and have since embraced other forms of community-led welcome.

New Community Sponsorship groups are constantly forming across all regions and nations of the UK.  Our map will give you an idea of what’s taking place in your area.

Community-led welcome isn’t about one organisation. It’s a truly collaborative initiative. We work with a range of organisations and individuals across the country to deliver our work and to grow the movement.
