❌ Myth “Refugees can’t volunteer until they get a job.”

✅ Fact: Refugees can both work and volunteer freely once they are granted status.

They can:

• Take up paid employment

• Volunteer in any organisation

• Participate fully in community life

👉 Volunteering is fully open to refugees.

Check out the Volunteers for Health, Northants Volunteer Good Practice Toolkit & Asylum Seeker information sheet for more information.

Clear understanding of this helps organisations create inclusive opportunities with confidence.
