With as little as a few hours a week, your volunteer efforts can make a significant change in the life of someone seeking asylum. Many of those we support are in a dire need of the right support and guidance. We'll provide you with the training and knowledge. Join our growing community of volunteers today.
I was inspired by the founder and the way she assisted me in my most vulnerable times. Therefore I want to help others the way I was helped and still being directed and assisted, most especially helping to protect vulnerable people from abuse and supporting them to live independently.

I'm Esegiel V. Toromba people call me Izzy for short. I am single, hardworking and compassionate man. I live in Daresbury Park Hotel on the outskirts of Warrington. I am passionate about volunteering work because it gives you an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. More about myself I would like to learn and gain more experience and skills when dealing with people encouraging them, assist them with daily problems that might arise as asylum seekers in the UK, and of course give something back to the community at large. There is no greater reward than seeing someone happy when they feel down and out when you know you can be that change or hope to push them to carry through.
