The Birmingham Community Hosting Network
Many refugees become homeless, especially during the period when they have been refused permission to remain in the UK but not required to leave. In response to this situation, several cities have created networks of people willing and able to offer accommodation, which may be for a few nights or a few months. Such a network has been started in Birmingham, and a meeting has been arranged for Wednesday 25th January, at 7.30 p.m. in the Marjorie Allen Room of the church. Rachel and Liz from the BIRCH network will explain their work. They already have three people active as hosts. Would you like to find out more?
Rachel says ‘We recognise that this kind of hospitality is not something that many folk can offer, but we are not looking for many, just one or two more, to get the network started’.
If you think this might be a calling to you, please come to the meeting. Members of the Social Justice Action Group will be hosting the meeting, which will be chaired by John Hull.
