Reset Communities for Refugees
Key takeaways
- As reported, Reset's grant-making is narrow: its Community Sponsorship Backstop Fund gives grants to Lead Sponsors when an arrived refugee family faces an emergency, so any request would need to concern that kind of emergency.
- The annual report gives no grants figure or grant range, so ask the charity what a realistic request might be before settling on an amount.
- No application process is published, so contact the charity through the contact shown in its annual report, register entry or on its website before preparing anything.
- Its registered area covers England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but no geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not rule you in or out.
- Being new or having given little so far is no reason to hold back from an enquiry.

What they fund
Priority Areas
Reset’s work centres on community-led welcome for refugees, supporting grassroots community groups as they prepare to welcome people and help them settle and integrate. It provides training, advice and guidance, mobilises volunteers, and works with local authorities and other organisations to make community-led welcome happen. Its wider priorities include housing solutions for refugees, evidence about long-term integration outcomes, and resilient welcoming communities. Its reported grant-making is more specific: the Community Sponsorship Backstop Fund provides grants for Lead Sponsors when an arrived refugee family faces an emergency. The evidence therefore describes both a broader service role for refugee welcome and a targeted grant fund supporting lead sponsors in emergency situations.
