Action For Refugees in Lewisham – Trustee co-treasurer
Action For Refugees in Lewisham (AFRIL) is seeking a Trustee co-treasurer to join our board and provide governance to our dynamic charity. We particularly invite people with lived experience of the asylum process, fundraising expertise, experience working in the refugee and migration sector and legal expertise relevant to our areas of work.
Advice and Casework Volunteer
We are seeking Advice and Casework Volunteers to work closely with AFRIL staff to provide guided advice and casework support to AFRIL clients both in our core casework service and through Outreach Surgerys at local Asylum Support Accommodation. Successful candidates will receive comprehesive training through AFRIL and other sector leading charities.
We are seeking volunteer interpreters to support with bi-weekly outreach sessions at the local Asylum Support Accommodation. The Outreach Surgery supports asylum seeking, or refused asylum seeking, members to understand and access their rights and entitlements. Residents seek protection from a large number of countries and many have limited English. The need amongst these members of our community is high, and available support limited. For this reason, AFRIL are seeking interpreters who can proficently interpret between English and one (or more) of the following languages Kurdish Sorani, Arabic, Pashto, Amharic, Albanian and Spanish.
