Interested in volunteering to help refugees?

08 Oct 2021

Opportunity for colleagues to volunteer

Our University is a University of Sanctuary, part of the City of Sanctuary UK initiative to ensure our nation is a welcoming place of safety for all.

We're working to make our University a welcoming and safe place for refugees and asylum seekers and also working with organisations that are developing further support for those seeking sanctuary.

Our commitment to this meets all three of our University core goals – world-class research, outstanding learning and student experience, and social responsibility.

Caritas Refugee Education – which works alongside refugees and asylum seekers to improve their wellbeing and integration through high quality language lessons, mentoring into further education and employment and wraparound wellbeing services – is looking for:

  • Volunteer Mentors to help with college, university and job applications.

Training will be provided and a session is scheduled for 25 October 2021.

To express your interest please complete an expression of interest form or email refugeeeducation@caritassalford.org.uk if you have any questions.
