A few ideas for ways you can help if you don't want to be a sponsor yourself, from someone who supports Syrian refugees in Devon:
Lastly, there will be a continued need for accommodation for people fleeing the war in Ukraine, as sadly there are no signs of it ending in the near future. If you are considering hosting a refugee or small family, but are not sure what it involves, or how to go about beginning the process, please do talk it through with one of the people who are already involved, and we can give you more information about what to consider, how it may affect you and your own family, and also the practical details of negotiating the visa application - which can be a little daunting at first! There's a huge amount of information on the subject, if you know where to look, and we can give you tips to help you with the process. Please contact Liz Golden on 07791 342928 or email: elizabeth.golden@hotmail.co.uk

3 LOCAL ORAL HISTORIES at Berwick ChurchThree local oral histories have been installed at Berwick Church as part of the NLHF project. Each has been set to a musical track by a student from the University of Brighton. The three histories are of Don Boys, Lynette Gribble and Peggy Lawrence. Visitors can select to listen to one. The intention is to encourage visitors to pause and reflect on the nature of change and human experience in a the context of the church and the paintings. The hope is that this will stimulate reflection on the changelessness of God and provide a moment of stillness in their lives.
