UK to expand refugee sponsorship schemes
The UK interior ministry has announced it will create new legal routes for asylum seekers, including allowing community organisations to sponsor refugees based on a similar system in Canada.
The system will come into place later this year, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said late Friday, with organisations and some “trusted” universities able to sponsor refugees and first arrivals expected in autumn 2027.
A route for employers to sponsor refugees is also expected to open next year, the Home Office said in a press release.
