A Church of Scotland backed partnership project which helps refugees and asylum seekers play a full part in community life is expanding so it can reach more people. Scottish Faiths Action for Refugees and Faith in Community Scotland have been awarded a £69,000 grant for the Faithful Welcome project, which will partly be used to hire a new development worker.
They will play a key role in ensuring faith groups are properly equipped to play a vital part in a two-way integration process between refugees, asylum seekers and the settled community.
