The a-z of volunteering and asylum

The a-z of volunteering and asylum is a practical handbook for:

• people managing volunteers who sometimes, often or always work with refugees or asylum seekers
• people managing volunteers who are refugees or asylum seekers
• groups and organisations wanting to develop this area of work

It sets out good practice, gives ideas on how to manage a wide range of issues, and is based on the experience of volunteers and volunteer managers across the UK.
