Community Sponsorship Ireland (CSI) was established in 2018 as a complementary integration and resettlement stream to the traditional state-centred model. The unique feature of the programme is that it enables a willing population to engage locally by directly supporting a refugee family. The Pilot phase concluded in 2019 and the programme entered implementation phase with applications accepted on an ongoing basis.
The national support organisation for the Community Sponsorship Programme is the Irish Red Cross. Access to a wide range of supports and resources, is available on the Irish Red Cross website communitysponsorship.ie. For any queries, contact info@communitysponsorship.ie or 1800 753 343
