Refugee Support - Casework Volunteer (Preston Q2-05)

British Red Cross volunteers help thousands of refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants every year enabling people to draw upon their own strengths to withstand crisis and rebuild their lives.

Our casework volunteers work one-to-one with refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants at a time which many will find particularly difficult and distressing. We help to ensure people have choices and opportunities made available to them to find a way forward and start their lives in a new country.

You’ll need access to a phone and computer as you’ll mostly volunteer from home, if you don’t have these, we might be able to lend them to you. There will be some office based drop-in sessions too.

We’d like you to be able to volunteer:

• 6 hours a week
• Thursday mornings and any other time Monday to Friday
• For 2 years

We would be particularly interested to hear from you if you have experience of being a refugee or asylum seeker.
