Support for migrants and refugees is one of the action pillars that has received a wide support across the archdiocese . A good number of organisations are active in dedicating their operations to the needs and support of migrants and refugees. This network is growing and embraces parish-based activities and other charities around the parish communities.
Caritas Southwark promotes a variety of schemes aimed at welcoming migrants and refugees present in our communities. This includes encouragement deaneries and parishes to participate in community sponsorship and refugee resettlement schemes across the Archdiocese of Southwark. Caritas Southwark, therefore pursues supportive partnerships and advocacy, alongside CSAN and other charities, for a fairer asylum system. One the goals of CS is for Southwark to become a diocese of sanctuary.
