Volunteer with Care4Calais in the UK and you’ll be working with some of the most caring, compassionate, motivated people in the world. You’ll also learn new skills. All new volunteers go through our training programme, which has been praised by others working in the charity sector. Many people also gain valuable experience working with refugees and vulnerable people, experience that is beneficial for future jobs. The programme includes: - safeguarding - introduction to our work and the refugee sector/UK asylum system - training in distributing aid - de-escalation techniques - suicide prevention - boundaries and managing relationships - age dispute claims - legal access You will meet amazing people, and get to understand at first hand the stories behind the news item that is so often misrepresented by politicians and the media. “I had never thought about the impact I could make as an individual person before I volunteered with Care4Calais. But when the people I’d supported began thanking me for the difference I’d made to their lives, it made me realise how important this work is.” Courtney, volunteer
