Project Description

Helping Refugee Families

Armidale Sanctuary is dedicated to helping refugee families settle in Armidale and successfully become members of the Armidale community.

Armidale Sanctuary members befriend individual families and help them with a variety of settlement issues. We visit the families in their homes, distribute donations of clothing and household goods and encourage them to come to community events. We practise English with them and provide assistance with transport such as to sporting events and medical appointments.

Armidale Sanctuary has organised the donation of bicycles to the refugee families and arranged bicycle safety training and bicycle repair days.
