In short, it may not seem the most obvious place to resettle a traumatised Syrian family. A handful of people met in the backroom of a church and decided to try to bring a Syrian family to Narberth. Community sponsorship sits alongside the Syrian vulnerable persons resettlement scheme, under which the government has pledged to resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020. A seven-strong family – including teenagers and adults – was matched with the Narberth group and they had 10 days to get their house ready. Forty-eight hours before the Syrian family was due to arrive, Hughes and Simpson were making last-minute preparations.
