Get Involved
There are many ways to support our mission of welcoming refugees to Lancaster.
Volunteer With Us
Volunteers are the backbone of our community. Whether you can offer an hour a week to chat over a coffee, help with DIY, or teach English, your skills are valuable.
All volunteers undergo a DBS check and receive comprehensive training before starting.
