Volunteers

The fantastic team of volunteers at BRR is fundamental to the work of the organisation. Without the energy and commitment of volunteers we simply could not deliver our services.

The volunteer team at BRR is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds. We aim to have a good mix of volunteers who are our members – asylum seekers and refugees who use our services – and people who are not members.

The way members and non-member volunteers work together at BRR is one thing that makes the organisation so special. Everyone learns from each other and provides essential support to help each other through the challenges and the injustice we witness and experience.

Volunteer Roles

BRR is a warm and welcoming community space, offering a range of services to our members. Volunteers are involved in all areas of work within BRR and make a major contribution to our capacity and pool of expertise.  They are involved in a wide range of volunteer roles at BRR: from arts sessions or cooking in the kitchen to helping people access housing or learning English.

Volunteer with us

So as to be able to provide training and support for new volunteers we recruit at different stages throughout the year. Usually in Autumn and Spring.

If you are interested in volunteering with us – please complete the Expression of Interest Form. Once you have submitted this form, you will be added to our pool of potential volunteers. We will contact you once we have active volunteer vacancies to see if you are still interested. This may take a few months – depending on when we last recruited!
