Supporting newly arrived people from Afghanistan

Following the recent operation to evacuate people by air from Kabul airport in Afghanistan following the takeover by the Taliban, the UK has, and will continue to become home to thousands of resettled Afghan refugees, requiring immediate help and support. Whilst for some the immediate crisis has somewhat eased, the real challenge and journey starts now. The newest members of our communities will soon begin the process of rebuilding their lives, many of whom would benefit immensely from your help.
