Volunteer befrienders needed to welcome and support refugee families or individuals
Befrienders offer regular social and practical support to a refugee as they settle into life in the UK. Some befriending roles focus primarily on helping someone practise and build confidence in spoken English, while others involve more general support, such as helping people connect with their local community, access activities and services, and develop independence. Some befrienders may give lifts to medical appointments, if required.
We provide an induction for new volunteers. We will assist volunteers with getting a DBS certificate. We have a buddy system and run regular group sessions where our volunteers can get together to share ideas.
Volunteering with Herts Welcomes Refugees is a great way to make a positive impact in someone's life.
