Proud to see our Leeds volunteers featured in @WLDispatch ! They've been part of the story at Kirkstall Valley Farm this summer – harvesting onions, potatoes, pumpkins and winter squash, bringing energy to this brilliant community project. 🎃 #Leeds #CommunityFarm

A conclusion from our independent evaluation: Volunteering changes public perceptions. Side-by-side work breaks down barriers, sparking understanding as volunteers and refugees share stories. To one staff member it was like opening a window onto a new world. Link in bio for more.

At Action Asylum, we love taking part in green volunteering opportunities! We are in a climate emergency and everyone must be included in the response. That's why we have been planting thousands of trees, cleaning beaches, and helping with habitat restoration all across the UK!

Our volunteers braved the muddy conditions last Friday & planted 700 trees with @CoedCaerdydd! 🌳 Did you know Cardiff trees remove around 10.5% of all pollutants emitted by Cardiff’s traffic?
