A Nidderdale community group has issued a plea for help to find a refugee family a long-term home.
Nidderdale Community Welcome (NCW), a voluntary group established at the end of 2020, took to the local parish magazine to seek accommodation for a Syrian refugee family.
The group, which helped to find the family their current Nidderdale home, raised more than £13,000 by April 2022 to fund the initiative.
However, according to a local parish magazine, the family’s tenancy is due to end “in a few months”, and they are on the hunt for a new home.
The group said:
Nidderdale Community Welcome issued a plea to anyone that knows of local rental properties, that would be suitable for the family, to get in touch.
The group said the family is looking for a two or three-bedroom house, which will soon become available, with a monthly rent in the region of £800 to £900.
It said anyone that may be able to help should call Bill Hickson on 07831809246, or email him at wgehickson@gmail.com.
