"Seeking to provide a safe environment where Refugees and Asylum Seekers can find friendship, food and practical help."
"H" arrived with her 4 children in 2014 from Palestine. She fled as her husband was arrested and killed by the Israeli army.
We at The Destitution Project helped H. and her children with food parcels when her money had stopped from Home office, befriened her, made school and college applications, overcame her housing problems and GP registration.
English Teachers - the Destitution Project is looking for experienced English teachers who would like to volunteer to teach beginner or intermediate/advanced classes for our service users. Classes are up to 2 hours long and take place on Wednesdays at various times and we currently have 2 levels for women and 2 levels for men. Each volunteer teacher would work with one class, and likely be part of a small team of teachers (some of whom are not trained in teaching English). We also try to provide one-to-one instruction throughout the day for those service users with very little English knowledge.
Reception Volunteers - the Destitution Project is in need of volunteers to man our reception desks each Wednesday.
This would require you to be present between 9.45am and 3.00pm. You will need to have good interpersonal and organisational skills, and like to meet and greet people but also comfortable ensuring that access to the Drop-In Centre and its services are well managed.
You will likely work as part of a two-person team. Previous experience in this sort of task would be ideal, but not essential.
You must be 18 and over to apply.
