Resettlement and welcome
Resettlement programmes offer refugees a safe, long-term solution when support is unavailable in their current host country. The UK and other nations voluntarily welcome those most at risk.
The welcome for resettled families in Gloucestershire is led by GARAS, who:
- Meet families at the airport
- Help them settle into their new home
- Assist with tasks like setting up accounts, GP registration, and school enrolment
- Offer ongoing practical and emotional support
Local community members also play a key role, providing culturally appropriate meals and volunteer led support to help families feel at home.
