If anyone ever upgrades their TV and has a spare one to donate please keep us in mind! We currently have a family who need one and they’re always very helpful for learning English.

We are ready to row 🛶

One week to go until the SWR team will be at the annual Chipstead Dragon Boat Festival! For those unable to join us on the day, we would be so grateful for any donations towards our £2,500 fundraising target for the event https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/donation-form/sevenoaks-welcomes-refugees-the-chipstead-dragon-boat-festival--2026

All proceeds will go directly towards our core work supporting refugee families to settle and thrive in the Sevenoaks District. Every £ helps! Thank you to our brilliant SWR community and supporters as always 🧡 We look forward to seeing you next week ⭐️

🛶Just over two weeks to go until SWR will be at the Chipstead Dragon Boat Race! 🌞

Join us on the upcoming Bank Holiday Monday (31st August) for a fun family day out, where we will be hosting a stall and entering a team as we did last year. We are looking for a few more volunteers to help with the stall or join in the boat - please contact Donald Fleming on [email protected] if you are interested. No prior stall or rowing experience is required - help us spread the word!

If you are unable to join us on the day (on land or on the water), please consider donating towards our £2,500 fundraising target for the event:

Does anyone have a cot in excellent condition that they would be happy to donate to us? We have a family who will very soon need one. They will also need a baby car seat.
Please get in touch if you can help, [email protected].

🌞It's that time of year again!🌞Join SWR on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August at Chipstead Lake for the annual Dragon Boat Festival! It is a fun day out with the family, and we will be hosting a stall and entering a team as we did last year.

No prior stall or rowing experience is required, and we had great participation from some of our beneficiary families last year, so please spread the word again!
