Kyneton is once again showing the power of community, as it prepares to welcome a refugee family from overseas.
Friends of Refugees Kyneton is a dedicated volunteer group partnering with Community Refugee Sponsorship Australia to support this family as they begin their new lives in Australia.
These families have already been processed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the federal government. They will arrive with permanent residency visas, ready to contribute and rebuild their lives in the local Kyneton area.
FORK is here to ensure a soft landing. That means more than just help with transport, housing, and essential services — it means friendship, connection, and the support that truly makes a place feel like home.
FORK will be hosting a movie night fundraiser on Saturday, October 4at 6pm to kickstart the group.
Happening at the Social Foundry in Kyneton, catch a showing of the beloved Australian comedy, The Merger, which follows the heart-warming story of a struggling footy club that finds hope, mateship and fresh talent in an unlikely group of new arrivals.
Currently, FORK is run by a small team of six passionate volunteers, and they welcome anyone in the local community interested in joining the team and helping the cause.
Those interested can volunteer, provide goods to help set up a home for new arrivals, or make a financial contribution to help cover essentials.
