Various locations in lewisham borough across the year. NO long-term commitment Easy sign -up
Action for Refugees in Lewisham works to relieve poverty and isolation amongst refugees, asylum seekers and other ethnic minorities in Lewisham. Our commitment is to ensure we reach the most vulnerable people in our community and help them access the support they are entitled to. As a small charity, we are reliant on fundraising and donations to support our projects and programmes and operational costs.
We organise a range of events and activities throughout the year to publicise our work and projects, raise our profile, support our fundraising campaigns, grow our volunteer team and celebrate our successes.
SMART volunteering is an addition to our volunteering opportunities. It is what is says; quick, easy, accessible and most importantly - a one-time commitment. We understand that some people really believe in what we do and would like to support AFRIL; but would find the responsibility of a long-term commitment impractical. SMART volunteering is ideally suited to people with busy lives or unpredictable schedules. You can sign up quickly for one event or activity without feeling guilty or over-committed. Of course, if your circumstances change and you find you’d like to more; you’re in the perfect place to discuss how you might extend your volunteering to one of our more long-term roles.
