Thanks to funding from Sheffield City Council and the Esmee Fairbairn Fund, the New Beginnings Refugee and Asylum Seekers Project has been re-launched.

The New Beginnings project, based in our Volunteer Centre, supports refugees and asylum seekers to volunteer. For refugees and asylum seekers volunteering is a real gateway into local Sheffield life, and provides a unique opportunity for them to prove old skills, gain new ones and to find greater wellbeing by contributing something to the local community.

The project is open Tuesday - Thursday, 10.00 - 2.00, for appointments. 

If you work with refugees and asylum seekers who may be interested in volunteering, then please get in touch - email refugee@vas.org.uk with your client’s details, or call 0114 253 6655 and speak to a member of the team.
