Telford Together with Refugees is a volunteer-led small charity.  Established in January 2025, we organise our offer into 7 pillars of activity: Help with Basics, Opportunity to Learn, Access to Exercise, Wellbeing Activities, Advice and Information, Help in a Crisis, and Generating Resources.

We have a range of volunteer opportunities supporting our work with people new into our local community, specifically those who are seeking asylum or are refugees. 

If you have time to offer, we will seek to utilise that by matching you to a role that will make a difference and prove rewarding to you too. 

This could be through befriending, learning activities and English classes, sport and exercise, fundraising events, donations management, charity administration, volunteer recruitment or another activity that suits your talents and interests.

The social club is offering opportunities which are open to all but we would love to hear from the 50+ and who are looking to carry out some practical activity during the week.

The activities will take place on a Thursday morning between 10am and 12 noon undertaking minor repairs around the site, low level painting internally and externally couple with light weight pruning, weeding, car-park clearance, litter picking and fence painting.
