The city of Birmingham has been a City of Sanctuary since 2015 and in 2023, the University of Birmingham became a University of Sanctuary. This means that Birmingham is a great place to be if you are interest in refugee issues and the asylum system.
STAR (Student Action for Refugees) is a national charity that offers non-judgmental support by befriending refugees, campaigning for them, and raising awareness. We aim to provide a safe, friendly environment when interacting with refugees. No previous experience is necessary!
As a member of STAR, you will get opportunities to volunteer with refugees and asylum seekers in Birmingham, you can campaign on refugee issues and learn about the current state of the UK immigration system.
We also organise events to raise money for refugee charities and raise the money needed to enable our volunteering sessions to run and be improved.
Volunteering for STAR is flexible so you can do as much or as little as you like. We'll give you training, and pay for all the transport involved.
