CARITAS SOCIAL ACTION NETWORK & SJOG HOMES FOR UKRAINE
Homes for Ukraine: SJOG and Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) are part of the Community
Sponsorship movement in the UK offering a matching, training and support service to sponsors
and guests under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme. Together we are working to enable the many
generous people willing to open up their homes as sponsors and match them with people displaced by the war in Ukraine. We aim to support people on their journey and provide opportunities to integrate into our community in the UK. If you would like to be considered as a sponsor, or be sponsored, please use the link below to register your interest. We will work as quickly as possible to contact every applicant and to start the matching process or pick up a leaflet at the back of the church.

Environmental Work
Bishop Philip and the Diocesan Trustees approved the Environment Strategy for the Diocese just before
Christmas. Caritas work will now focus on developing a plan with other teams across the diocese, to put into action the work needed to achieve our diocesan environmental targets, which include net carbon zero by 2030, a really significant target. Other Caritas work will be looking at biodiversity throughout the diocesan estate and assisting parishes and parishioners to play their part in our work for the care of Creation. We all have a part to play in this very important work, so we are asking you all to consider making a personal pledge to help the environment. If you visit this survey you will be able to access a pledge questionnaire which will help you identify what you can do as an individual to help in this work.
