You’ve taken the first step towards welcoming a refugee to your community. Well done!

If you’ve already joined one of our Introduction to Community Sponsorship workshops, your next step is to complete Part 1 training – Planning your application. This is an e-learning course which is required for core group members (these are the people who lead the teams or areas of work on your application) and should be completed in the early stages of your planning, before you have applied to the Home Office.

You can also read our guides to defining roles for the volunteers in your group, and tips on how to manage volunteers.
