Who are we and our work with Reading City of Sanctuary
Who is Resettlement CIC?
​
Resettlement is a Community Interest Company founded in 2021. Our objective is to support local refugees and asylum seekers adjust to life in the UK. We believe in building not just homes, but futures. We provide safe, supportive shared accommodation for people at a vulnerable point in their journey, ensuring that no one is left behind as they work towards independence.
​
We formed during the midst of former Home Secretary, Priti Patel’s, New Plan for Immigration Policy Statement in March of that year and the subsequent surge of dangerous Channel Crossings. The continued politicising of displaced people has highlighted the need to support and welcome some of the most vulnerable members of our local communities.
​
As of 2025, we are proud to be the license holders for City of Sanctuary - Reading, reflecting our commitment to creating welcoming communities where everyone can belong.
