Refugee Resettlement
The Diocese is calling for volunteers for refugee resettlement in Wellington. There is a need for quality small appliances, towels, and bedding (duvets, sheets, blankets, protectors). In addition, donations are much appreciated, and can be deposited into the Diocese account with a reference, or through our website: www.anglicanmovement.nz/donate.
Anyone wanting to be involved on an ongoing basis can volunteer through their parish. Volunteers gather donations or fundraise to pull together a collection of household items, which can either be new or second hand. Another parish, then sets up these items in the house that they family will be moving to. Anyone interested in donating items or volunteering through their parish can speak to Refugee Support Coordinator Phil McCarthy on 021481204 .
Another option for people wanting to be involved with the settlement process is to volunteer directly with the Red Cross. With full training is provided. Contact Aileen Davison aileen.davison@redcross.org.nz if you would like to volunteer with the Red Cross.
