Contribute money towards the deposit, the initial rent and all the things which each new family needs but cannot afford, from nappies to school shoes, as well as the salary of a part-time administrator to support our volunteers.
There is a whole range of jobs for volunteers, depending on how much time people have available and what skills they can offer.

“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.” – Sherry Anderson

Help find properties for refugees to rent. This can be done mainly online.
Work & Welfare
Help refugees apply for benefits and monitor payments or help refugees put together a good CV, look for jobs and help them apply.
