Our friendship volunteers help to run friendship groups for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in Edinburgh.
We also run a one-to-one befriending programme through which we match volunteers with New Scots to build friendship and offer support.
Current opportunities
We are not currently recruiting new volunteers.
