The Open Community is the National Support Organisation for Ireland’s Community Sponsorship Programme for Refugees, and is a partnership of Amnesty International Ireland, Doras, Nasc, the Irish Red Cross, the Irish Refugee Council, and the UNHCR.
The Open Community has in place a toolkit of free supports and training designed to prepare hosts and host communities to welcome Ukrainian refugees into their homes and communities.
The training and supports reflect the collective expertise within Ireland’s Community Sponsorship programme, recognised best practice in community welcoming for refugees and are informed by host consultation and feedback. These supports are vital to ensure the hosting solution being offered by communities across Ireland is as sustainable and effective as possible.
It is essential that those who have registered and pledged to be a host are made aware of and encouraged to access these supports. To do this, it is recommended that any communication between hosts and refugees during the matching process includes a link to access these supports.
All of the supports are available on the Host Supports page of The Open Community website and can be accessed via this link: https://theopencommunity.ie/host-supports/
