UKRAINAIN REFUGEE CRISIS
The Diocese is seeking to participate in the “Working through Caritas Diocese of Shrewsbury” and we will register interest in the Scheme as an organisation. Registrations are currently open for individuals with their own homes, or organisations such as charities which hold properties or have the ability to support those coming to the UK.
Caritas will be updating their news page about the Ukraine Crisis with information about the scheme and further support for Ukraine including giving, campaigning and prayer: https://www.caritasshrewsbury.org.uk/2022/02/28/ukraine-crisis-update/
Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN), which Caritas Shrewsbury is a member of, are expecting to be able to circulate a detailed briefing for parishes within the next week.
On a national level the Catholic Church is working with the Government in developing the role of organisations in the Scheme, given its experience with the Community Sponsorship Scheme. I will provide further updates on how we will be able to take part once this information becomes available. In the meantime if your parish is interested in supporting the Scheme, please email Mrs Theresa Stones with the details of what this support would be and we will seek with Caritas, to co-ordinate our response with all the practical considerations involved.
