A conclusion from our independent evaluation: Volunteering changes public perceptions. Side-by-side work breaks down barriers, sparking understanding as volunteers and refugees share stories. To one staff member it was like opening a window onto a new world. Link in bio for more.

At Action Asylum, we love taking part in green volunteering opportunities! We are in a climate emergency and everyone must be included in the response. That's why we have been planting thousands of trees, cleaning beaches, and helping with habitat restoration all across the UK!
