Churches Action for Resettlement of Refugees In Exeter

CARRIE is a cross-church initiative in Exeter that works with the Government to help refugee families start a new life in the UK.

In 2010 representatives of Belmont Chapel, Exeter Network Church and Exeter Vineyard Church met to discuss the possibility of making a small different in this global crisis. From these meetings was born the plan to work with the Government Sponsorship Scheme to help families who were long term stuck in refugee camps resettle in the UK.   

We have now helped three families start life away from war and displacement in the Exeter area. They have gone on to achieve qualifications, find jobs and, most importantly, feel safe in their new home.
