Volunteer
Volunteering is fundamental to who we are and our way of working. Our services are delivered by a volunteer body that is a strong mix of long-standing and new volunteers, who are supported by a small staff team.
“When I am in Asylum Welcome, I don’t feel I am working in an office, I feel among friends who are active and working together to provide the best of what they can to help their clients” – Khaled, Volunteer
