Refugee Support
‘I was a stranger and you invited me in’ Matthew 25
We partnered with the Benefact Trust on our Refugee Support Small Grants Programme in 2023 and 2022.
Together, we are supporting Christian projects that help refugees arriving in England from Ukraine and Afghanistan.
Beyond providing emergency basics like toiletries, clothes and food, churches are supporting refugees to rebuild their lives and join and contribute to local communities, no matter their faith or circumstances.
If you have further questions about the programme you can contact our friendly team on 0330 053 1954 or grants@cuf.org.uk. We would love to hear from you.
