Support workers

If you have work experience of doing support work for refugees and/or asylum seekers and would be willing to use these skills with those we support, please get in touch.

Interpreters and language speakers

If you have language skills such as Arabic, Ukrainian or Russian, especially if you could be available during the week to interpret or translate. Alternatively you could become a befriender who speaks the home language of a refugee and could enable refugees to have easy communication along with informal English conversation.

ESOL trained teachers

Refugees need ten hours per week of ESOL lessons initially; then five hours a week up to nine months. ESOL teachers will need to monitor progress, and may need to liaise with other ESOL teachers

Qualified trauma counsellors

Refugees may need trauma counselling after they have arrived. Counsellors must be suitably qualified.

Decorators/DIY skills

We occasionally need help making the homes suitable for a refugee family.

General Volunteers

People willing to help out in a whole variety of ways e.g. transport, housing guidance, befriending, help filling in forms, organising special events, fundraising, and more.
