Doncaster resettled 19 Syrian refugees – as similar Afghanistan scheme launches
Doncaster is home to 19 of the Syrian refugees housed across the UK, figures show, as the Government prepares to resettle another 20,000 people – this time from Afghanistan.
Charity Refugee Council praised the success of the Syrian conflict scheme, but said it is critical the Government provides enough support to help councils now welcome Afghan nationals.
Figures from the House of Commons Library show 19 people had resettled in Doncaster through the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme by the end of March – 0.1% of all those nationally.
