Support and Empower Volunteers – Deadline for applications: 13th May 2024
This role involves giving additional support to our most vulnerable clients through their legal process. Time commitment can vary from a brief phone call once a week to intensive support at crucial times (such as around an appeal hearing). The role is focused on emotional and practical support and keeping the client informed and helping them understand the process.
Communications Volunteers – Deadline for applications: 13th May 2024
We need communications volunteers to keep our website up to date, our social media active and regularly updated, and to develop newsletters for volunteers and supporters. The time commitment is flexible but social media needs weekly input. The role can be carried out remotely although it’s useful if you can visit the office from time to time.
Interpreter Volunteers – Deadline for applications: Ongoing
We need volunteer interpreters to help clients access our services. You’ll need to be able to speak English well, and the languages of any of our clients. We accept applications from all languages, but in particular, we are looking for:
- Amharic
- Tigrinya
- Oromo
- Kurdish-Sorani
- Dari
- Pashtu.
As a volunteer interpreter for Manuel Bravo Project, you’ll also help Positive Action For Refugees and Asylum Seekers’ (PAFRAS) clients.
We work with PAFRAS to recruit and train volunteer interpreters for both organisations. By applying as an interpreter to either organisation you are applying to join both.
Learn about PAFRAS.
Fundraise for us
The more people who fundraise for us, the better. We’re so grateful for any donations, big or small. It all makes a difference.
Anyone can fundraise for us. You could get friends to sponsor you to run a marathon. Or have a tasty bake sale at work. How about trading birthday gifts for donations?
Whatever you decide, we’d love to hear about it. Get in touch with our team and we’ll let you know how you can send us your fundraising money.
