Who we are
There is so much strength, compassion, and perseverance within communities. We see this everyday through the act of community-led welcome. When communities step forward to welcome, we know great things happen.
Amina Khanom, Director of Reset
Since 2018, Reset has supported the community-led welcome movement across the UK.
We were set up in 2018 to coordinate the growth of the Community Sponsorship across the UK. We supported over 300 community groups to welcome over 1000 refugees into the UK. We have trained and supported volunteers across the UK to prepare to welcome refugees and to help them settle and integrate once they arrive. We work with local authorities and other organisations to support volunteers in making community-led welcome happen. We have also supported Homes for Ukraine and Neighbours for Newcomers, enabling more groups and individuals to directly support refugees to reach safety in the UK.
Our dedicated team has a range of skills including training, programme development, public engagement and communications.
About Neighbours for Newcomers
Neighbours for Newcomers (N4N) was a joint initiative between Reset and Talent Beyond Boundaries to coordinate a community-led welcome of skilled forcibly displaced people, including refugees. ‘Newcomers’ were candidates of Talent Beyond Boundaries’ Displaced Talent Mobility programme, and came to the UK with Skilled Worker Visas having fled their home countries. Newcomers will be working with employers, mostly NHS Trusts, across the UK.
