Come and join us!
We currently have over 25 volunteers providing care and support to asylum seekers and refugees in Burnley and the surrounding area. The number of people we support is growing and that’s why we need to grow our team too.
If you are interested in volunteering with us please email [email protected] We are always on the look out for people to help provide our ‘advice & advocacy’ service, teach English, manage our fundraising activities, assist with donations & events… and simply be a friend to our clients.
