Kingston Liberal Synagogue’s Professor Vince Daly is chairing KCRS. He first became interested in the scheme through honorary membership of South London Liberal Synagogue, which is working with a refugee welcome group organised by Citizens UK.
It had showed him “how much can be achieved when faith communities collaborate in their pursuit of social justice. It’s exciting to put this into practice in the Kingston Community Refugee Sponsorship charity. I hope this is a first step towards building a Citizens UK alliance in Kingston.”
A number of churches are involved in KCRS, which is also supported by local Muslims.
