In September 2015 the Church of Scotland proposed a refugee co-ordination project. This was at a time when there were many migrants and refugees making their way into Europe, there was a lot of media attention on the issues, and there was the expectation of many Syrian families coming to Scotland through the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS).
