Unitarian Fellowship of Peterborough

The Unitarian Fellowship of Peterborough is a Unitarian Universalist Church that holds weekly worship services throughout the year. We provide programs for all ages that support personal and spiritual growth as well as community connection. We provide pastoral care to our congregation and to others who come to us for support. We provide opportunities for education and engagement regarding indigenous allyship food security antiracism and LGBTQ issues. We financially support local organizations that provide charitable services such as the food bank and the AIDS Resource Centre and work with multifaith partners to address social justice issues at community and systemic levels. The Fellowship has been active in the sponsorship of refugees since 2015 including funding and providing volunteers for all aspects of settlement. Since 2019 we have also been active in co- sponsorship with local community groups: as Trustee we provide monitoring activities to ensure that all fundraising and disbursement activities are in accordance with the government approved settlement plan. With funds in hand we are ready to receive a family of eight originally from Afghanistan but still caught in the challenges we read about daily. Final approvals have been received and this should be the year we welcome the family toPeterborough.
