Pledge a bed to a Syrian

“A national campaign calling on Irish homeowners to pledge a bed or an empty home to Syrian refugees has been launched.

“The Irish Red Cross wants people to consider offering a spare bedroom to a Syrian refugee to use for up to a year.

“The charity is also calling for the owners of vacant, standalone properties – including apartments, houses and converted accommodation –to offer the space to a refugee family.

“The Irish Red Cross said any refugee housed through the register would be paired with a caseworker and provided with educational, health and employment support.”
