❌ Myth : “Asylum seekers can do any unpaid role.”

✅ Fact: Asylum seekers cannot do ‘voluntary work’ — meaning roles that involve contracts or obligations similar to employment. Volunteering must be:

• Genuinely voluntary

• Unpaid

• Without formal contractual obligations

👉 If there’s a contract, it’s not volunteering.

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