Proud to see our Leeds volunteers featured in West Leeds Dispatch! They've been part of the story at Kirkstall Valley Farm this summer – harvesting onions, potatoes, pumpkins and winter squash, bringing energy to a brilliant community project. #Leeds#CommunityFarm
One year after the far-right riots, a new story is being told.
Lord Randall of Uxbridge writes in Big Issue about how Action Asylum volunteers responded by picking up tools, planting trees, and building trust together.
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.
We're sharing more conclusions from the independent report led by Dr. Chris Stone (University of Nottingham) over on instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DMQQ3mhooO...
The independent evaluation of Action Asylum by Dr. Chris Stone concluded that Volunteering builds social cohesion—fostering connection & shared purpose.🤝
“Working and walking side by side takes away so much tension, leading to more personal and immediate discussions.”
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! #GreatBigGreenWeek
🌟 Volunteer Spotlight: Mohammad Abdullah 🌟 Mohammad’s been with Action Asylum since July 2024 and now leads our new Coventry gardening project. “I love breathing fresh air and planting things. This is very healthy for us, and it is helping grow vegetables for the people who need it.” 🌱
This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek the theme is community 💚 Over 2,300 #ActionAsylum volunteers have given 57,000+ hours to community projects—which our recent report has found combats loneliness and improves wellbeing. Join us to celebrate the power of coming together! 🌱🤝
To all those in Liverpool, come and join us at Princes Park this Sunday from 10.30AM. We'll be cleaning up litter, making friends, and sharing lunch (provided for free). For more info, message Darryl on 07388813584. #TogetherWithRefugees#volunteering
