Volunteering

Playing a vital role to welcome and support our clients.

How our volunteers help

Our dedicated and diverse team of volunteers play a vital role in ensuring we continue to welcome all refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to help them rebuild their lives and achieve their full potential.
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do and are engaged with all aspects of our charity. Without them, we would be unable to provide our full range of services. There is a wide range of roles available for our volunteers to become involved with from casework with our Advice Team, to helping at our weekly social groups and providing support to all our other services.
Full training and an induction is given to all successful applicants.
People volunteer with our charity because they are interested in empowering our clients to overcome the challenges they face, and are eager to be part of creating a better world. By helping at Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre, they can make a positive difference to people’s lives.
