Caritas Shrewsbury
Caritas is the new social action and social justice agency of the Diocese of Shrewsbury which seeks to develop the Church’s social mission in the years ahead.
Our portfolio includes intergenerational work, young people at the risk of becoming homeless, accessible community hubs and work with those seeking refuge and asylum.
We offer a variety of refugee services such as:
- Collections and fundraising activities to provide shoes for the winter, toys for children and the basics to make an accommodation more homely.
- Providing a safe space with advice, support and friendship at the Well Project.
- Supporting the Home Office resettlement programme called Community Sponsorship which some of our parishes are actively exploring with a view to supporting a family throughout their first couple of years in the UK.
- Raising awareness through school assemblies and talks in parishes and to groups.

Caritas Shrewsbury - The Well Project
The Well Project offers time and space to those who are seeking asylum and refuge. There is an opportunity to discuss their worries about paperwork, learn and enjoy cultural exchanges, cook together and learn English through their activities.
Services include:
• English Classes: The session is led by Abi a qualified ESOL teacher and supported by a great group of volunteers. There are opportunities to learn basic vocabulary, conversational English and cultural exchange. Participants are assessed on arrival and assigned a volunteer.
• The Well Women's Group: Ladies come for company and friendship, they feel safe and cared for. There is an opportunity to discuss their worries about paperwork, learn and enjoy cultural exchanges, cook together and learn English through their activities. There is always a lovely welcoming atmosphere and the ladies are looking for more opportunities to develop services in the Centre.
