Volunteer
“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.” – Sherry Anderson
We wouldn't be able to do what we do without our incredible volunteers. In giving their time, skills and kindness, our volunteers help us support refugees and asylum seekers in practical and meaningful ways. Their unconditional positive regard, warm welcome and friendly faces are sometimes all it takes to make a huge difference. If this is something you can offer and you have the skills to match any of our listed roles, please consider joining our volunteering team - we’d love to have you.

JOIN OUR
TRUSTEES
WRP is seeking up to three new trustees to join our board in 2026. We are particularly interested in individuals who are able to take an active interest in, and provide oversight for, specific areas of our work.
We are particularly keen to recruit someone with a financial background to work alongside our current Treasurer.
We value diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and recognise the insight, wisdom, and enrichment this brings both to our organisation and to the communities we serve.
If you think this could be you, or someone you know, we would love to hear from you!
