Cardiff University (Cardiff STAR)

Cardiff University (Cardiff STAR)

Cardiff STAR is made up of volunteers and learners who are dedicated to making Cardiff and the UK more welcoming for individuals seeking sanctuary. Our main activity is our weekly English conversation club. We also host socials, awareness-raising events and fundraising challenges. We are committed to reaching out to our community and are currently working on an outreach project, which involves going into schools and teaching about seeking sanctuary. Did we also mention we have this brilliant (we like to call it famous) music event called Refugee Rhythms?!
Feel free to contact us on through our social media: Facebook, Instagram, and email . We look forward to speaking to you! to you!

University of South Wales (USW STAR)

University of South Wales (USW) is a University of Sanctuary Scheme. The scheme aims to inspire and support universities to adopt a culture and practice of welcome within their own institutions, in their wider communities, and across the UK Higher Education sector. Additionally, we would like to introduce you to our new society, STAR, a student-run volunteering group trying to create change and make a difference in communities and universities nationwide. The UK STARs have over 27 years of history. We aim to help refugees and people seeking asylum with a safer environment in their place of study and at home.
