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.

As a Young Refugee Project Volunteer you will be involved in a range of activities helping children and young people integrating into the UK to navigate their local area, develop skills to cope with their situation and to find a way forward.

You will be able to commit to the role for 12 months, volunteering 1 day per week minimum (availability mainly afternoons to be discussed). This role will be a mix of home based and office volunteering. You will also have an understanding of issues relating to refugees and asylum seekers.

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