Become a refugee sponsor

Take the course

We all want to do our part; whether that’s sharing a post, donating £10 or going one step further, and sponsoring a refugee family.

Together, with Sanctuary Foundation we’ve made it easier than ever to get the practical skills you need to become a sponsor, and a force of good in our community.

“The UK has a brilliant opportunity to offer hospitality to refugee families from Ukraine but we must make sure hosts and volunteers are equipped to look after vulnerable people. Save the Children is delighted to be part of this collaboration and we have many other resources you can make use of too” - Dan Paskins, Director of UK Impact at Save the Children UK

The online course can be taken in your own time with each lesson being 20 minutes long. These include vides and interactive elements to aid learning. Plus you'll get a certificate when you complete it.

By signing up for this course you’ll become better prepared to welcome refugees into your community and maybe even your home.

Take it from Rachel Poulton who is a refugee caregiver herself - “We can’t take away sadness and pain, we can’t alter what’s happened, but we can be a part of building some good bits for a positive future. And that’s just a lovely thing to do.”
