Roles areas follows: Volunteer Tutor visits a student’s home once a week to teach them English. Students are often isolated and benefit hugely from the one-to-one help. They focus on practical language e.g. for shopping, handling money, attending a doctor’s appointment and travelling on public transport.

Refugee Action Kingston

Refugee Action Kingston (RAK) provides free advice and information on a number of issues, including immigration, benefit, housing, education, training, health and other issues. RAK whilst supporting the refugees encourages their independence, enabling them to settle and lead fulfilling independent lives. Opportunities exist at RAK’s day centre on Wednesdays and Fridays. This could include helping to serve lunches, playing with the children, doing arts and crafts, and helping with English, IT and exercise classes. There is always the chance to talk and socialise with the refugee families. Volunteers are also needed to help at the crèche and they also have a befriending and mentoring scheme. There are regular opportunities to get involved in one-off projects with RAK - helping at their clothing collection days throughout the year and with the Christmas party.
