  • Community Sponsorship is a UK government-backed, volunteer-led refugee resettlement scheme. Inspired by the Canadian Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program of over 40 years, Community Sponsorship was introduced in the UK in 2016. The scheme enables groups of local volunteers to support a refugee family for their first year in the UK. It is eligible to those from Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt who are displaced due to the Syrian crisis. From the start of the new UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS) due to launch in 2020, all those resettled by Community Sponsorship will be counted in addition to government targets, making it the only way for people in the UK to directly increase the number of refugees coming to the country legally. The scheme is supported by UK refugee charities and high-profile individuals such as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. (en)
