2025 Might Be Our Biggest Year Yet—But We Need Your Help to Make It Happen!

At Edinburgh Refugee Sponsorship Circle, we've seen first-hand how a strong, solidaric community can change lives. Over the past three years, we've successfully welcomed and supported two refugee families, helping them rebuild their lives here in Edinburgh. They have become an invaluable part of our lives.


Now, as we look ahead to 2025, we have some truly exciting news to share—this could be our biggest and most impactful year yet!


We've recently encountered two incredible opportunities that could dramatically expand our mission. First, we've identified the possibility of securing two more affordable flats, which would allow us to resettle one, or even two, additional refugee families. This is a huge step forward, but to make it happen, we need to raise £9,000 per family. This funding is crucial for providing essential support like housing, education, and community integration.


But that’s not all. We’re also exploring the ground-breaking possibility of purchasing property as a charity, which would create long-term, secure, and affordable housing for the very first family we welcomed. To achieve this, we need to raise another bigger amount of funds and we need volunteer brain power. This investment will offer permanent stability to a family who has already endured so much, ensuring they have a safe and secure place to call home for years to come.


However, these opportunities can only become a reality with your help. We need your support—both in raising the necessary funds and in offering your time and skills as a volunteer. Whether you can contribute financially, help with fundraising efforts, or simply spread the word, every bit brings us closer to our goal.


Together, we can make 2025 a transformative year for refugee families in Edinburgh. Let’s show the power of community and make a lasting impact. Will you join us on this incredible journey?
