WELCOMING Refugees in Crediton has arranged a meeting for local sponsors/hosts and supporters and also for other people interested  in providing accommodation or other support for Ukranian refugees at The White Room Creative Space, 50 Commonmarsh Lane, Lords Meadow Industrial Estate, Crediton EX17 1DN at 5.30pm on Monday, April 11.

Bindy Saywood is kindly donating use of this space.

The idea is that all those interested can meet each other and share any experiences in the rather difficult and protracted process of sponsoring/hosting.

Very few refugees have actually arrived as yet and the government is still in the process of updating procedures.

Telephone 07422712894 if you need directions.

Those who think they want to host a refugee can also email Mary Nation at: [email protected]  to be added to the  local would-be and actual hosts.

Those who want to provide a different form of support to refugees should email Anthea Duquemin at: [email protected] .
