Welcome to the website of the
Gordon Head Refugee Sponsorship Community Group (GHRSCG)
also known as “The Gherkins!”
The Gherkins formed in 2016 to help refugees come to Victoria. As of 2024 we have three successful sponsorships under our belts and are working on our fourth. We can’t do it without the help of many generous donors and volunteers like you!
Want to know more about the Gherkins? See About Us.
When we’re planning a sponsorship, the Gherkins regularly organize fundraising events such as music bingo, giant garage sales, and other events featuring delicious Syrian food. Currently we’re planning a Music Bingo night at the Fernwood Inn – to decide if you want to join the fun, see our Events page and to sign up visit our Eventbrite page.

Supporting a new family for a whole year means raising money for rent, groceries, and other costs; as you know, life in Victoria is expensive. We always welcome donations!
