"Sure, what can you do?" Community Sponsorship groups are forming across Ireland to help refugee families settle into Irish life. Here's where to start. See what you can do. whatcanyoudo.ie @nascireland.bsky.social d.bsky.social @irishrefugeeco.bsky.social

A Community Sponsorship group is a handful of people. Some know the area. Some know how to organise. All of them show up for one refugee family, in their own way. Learn more here: theopencommunity.ie/campaign/wha... @nascireland.bsky.social @irishrefugeeco.bsky.social
