Description
Carila Latin American Welfare Group works with refugees, migrants and newly arrive asylum seekers (mostly spanish and portuguese speakers). Volunteers are particularly needed for interpreting, administration, webpage/ ICT fundraising (volunteers will get induction, support, and information from the manager/ case worker and might then go with a client who has had their claim rejected, etc.). Volunteers can start with easy jobs such as helping someone register with their local GP or working on leaflets, before moving on to more demanding jobs. Volunteers can also become members of the management committee.

The centre is open Monday to Friday, 10am-4pm.
Travel and lunch expenses paid.
