Getting involved

 

A lot of people help to make Refugee Week a success – and you could be one of them!

 

You could:

Come along to one of the events to meet people and learn more.

Help out at events and activities.

Help behind-the-scenes such as giving out the coasters to pubs and cafes.

• Volunteer with any of the Refugee Week partners – see links on the left to get in touch with any of them.

 

• You could even host your own event or activity at home, your workplace, school or college, or place of worship.Visit www.refugeeweek.org.uk/simple-acts for loads of great ideas.

 

• Learn the truth about asylum – there are a lot of myths out there which damage the way people think about refugees and asylum seekers. You can find out the facts for yourself – try the online quiz to see how much you really know! PLAY HERE.

 

Even just spreading the word about Refugee Week can be hugely helpful.

Below are some case studies from volunteers at Bedford Refugee Asylum Seeker Support.
