We are delighted to share some wonderful news — Phibsboro For All has welcomed a new neighbour to Dublin through the Community Sponsorship Scheme!
The Community Sponsorship Scheme allows local groups to come together to support a person or family seeking safety and a fresh start in Ireland. Through intense preparation, coordination, and fundraising, our community sponsorship group has worked side by side with friends in The Open Community to make this welcome possible. This is the second individual Phibsboro For All, and the wider Phibsboro community has supported to resettle to Ireland.
Our new neighbour who has come from Afghanistan due to the danger to her life there, has begun settling into life in Dublin, getting to know the area, and starting to build new routines. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to fundraising and activities to make this happen. Every act of support, big or small, has made a real difference and has helped to create a welcoming environment where our new neighbour can feel safe and hopeful for the future.
Community sponsorship is where compassion turns into action, and where new beginnings are met with open arms. We look forward to sharing more updates as our newest community member continues to settle in, and to creating more opportunities for everyone to get involved in our work. Together, we are building not just a welcoming neighbourhood, but a stronger, more connected one.
