We accepted a referral of a family from the Home Office in early June and then have had to wait for a house to become available. We now have an offer from a housing association and are waiting for necessary repairs to be completed. We will then start to decorate and furnish the house. We will need to carpet throughout. If you can help in any way, do let us know. 

The Home Office will then make arrangements for the family to travel here. This is a really exciting time, we are nearly there!

Thanks everyone for the generous donations – our fundraising page is open again at Kendal Open Door Community Sponsorship – JustGiving

We accepted a referral of a family from the Home Office in early June. We are now waiting for a house to become available. When that happens, we will firm up our plans (making a 2nd stage application to the Home Office) and the Home Office then make arrangements for the family to travel here. We will also then start actively looking for furniture etc

We have set up 5 sub groups – Family Support, Property Preparation, Digital, ESOL and English conversation, and Aspiration Volunteering and Employment.
