Volunteer case studies

Refugees into Teaching, Volunteer

"It's the little things that make it so worthwhile, contact with the clients, the Iranian woman who expressed her delight in the freedoms in the UK – not having to wear a head scarf - simple things that make me think. "
Alex, volunteer, Refugees into Teaching

"I have stumbled upon an organisation (Refugee Council) which has supported me every step of the way and has now got me within reach of my professional goals."
Marj, volunteer, Therapeutic Casework Unit

"It is really a brilliant place to volunteer because you can gain so much experience in such a short time."

The Refugee Council exists to support refugees arriving in the UK. We want to ensure that they are treated fairly and with dignity, to enable them to find protection, and to help them rebuild their lives.

It is only with your support that we can do this.
