small voice of the month – Edinburgh Refugee Sponsorship Circle

“It’s a small thing but it’s also massive”. That’s how Fae Gerlach describes the achievement of Edinburgh Refugee Sponsorship Circle in bringing a Syrian refugee family to Edinburgh. It’s a simple idea, involving a community coming together to welcome one family at a time, having raised funds, made all the arrangements and completed the paperwork, with a pledge to support their family for several months as they settle in the UK.
