Sunrise is a new project aiming to enhance refugee integration by assisting refugees through the difficult transition from support as an asylum seeker to building a new life in the UK.
Are you living in Manchester?
Want to meet and help refugees?
Are you available weekdays, for a few hours?
If yes, then Manchester Refugee Support Network (external link) has opportunities for volunteers to assist refugees who have just been granted permission to stay in the UK. You will assist one or two refugees at a time and help them deal with the problems they will face as they settle in the UK. You will be invited to attend social events with other volunteers, refugees and community members.
Previous experience is not necessary as we provide training. Reasonable English is required and we appreciate volunteers who can speak a second language.
Volunteers from all backgrounds are welcome.
Want to learn more; call Hassan on 0161 232 7420 or email volunteer@mrsn.org.uk
