Why get involved with The Refugee Therapy Centre?

What is happening around the world to asylum seekers, displaced and refugees is not right. It is not fair, and it is against the universal declaration of Human Rights.

It CAN and should change. We are part of the change and would like more people joining us.

You can make an impact with your skills and experience, helping some of the most marginalised people in the world by becoming a volunteer at the Refugee Therapy Centre. You'll do something good by using your expertise and professional skills to help bringing hope to some hopeless and helpless traumatised people. People who have been persecuted, imprisoned, and tortured only because they wanted equality in their society. We need your skills and professional experience to create lasting change.

At the moment, the Centre is assessing how to progress its charitable aims. We are looking for more Trustees to join our board and are especially interested in hearing from people who have experience in grant making organisations and also experience in accounting and finance. If this sounds like you, do please apply by filling in the Volunteer Application below .

The Refugee Therapy Centre is an incredible organisation, which with your help, can ensure that refugees and asylum seekers receive crucial help and practical advice as soon as they arrive in the UK, and have continued support throughout the difficult adjustment process.

Why donate to The Refugee Therapy Centre?

With your donations we can ensure that refugees and asylum seekers receive psychological support, develop language skills and self esteem, and foster a community for people that may have lost theirs. Together we can enhance opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers, giving them mental heath care, improved language skills and more independence.

What your donation can do:

Regular Donations

A monthly donation helps us plan for the future and commit to vital long-term projects.

Payroll giving

Payroll giving is a tax efficient way of giving directly from your salary. For a higher rate taxpayer, a £10 donation costs just £6 and for a standard rate taxpayer the same donation costs £8. Contact your employer directly to donate from your payroll.

In Celebration

Instead of the traditional gift for your loved one, why not donate to The Refugee Therapy Centre in their name, and we will send them a card to let them know, and in celebration (direct or to the donor’s address). If you are celebrating a wedding or civil partnership, you can use your special day to help a special cause by requesting your guests to donate and contribute to the wellbeing of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. Similarly, birthdays, anniversaries and christenings can be the perfect chance to give back.

If you would like to arrange a donation in celebration, please get in touch!
