Salusbury World Crowdfunder – Result

John Haines — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 17:36:30 +0000

Salusbury World is a registered charity supporting refugee and migrant children, young people and families rebuild hopeful, fulfilling lives in London. They started work in Brent in 1999.

They provide immediate crisis support – through basics like food parcels and phone cards, and help with welfare benefits, immigration issues and homelessness – and long-term support so refugees and asylum-seekers develop the skills and confidence to thrive in London. Their support is personalised and integrated. They also offer an advice service, after-school and homework clubs, educational mentoring for teenagers, holiday programmes and a women’s project.

Salusbury World has reached something of a pinch point with an exponential rise in the demand for their services at a time of serious financial constraint and is in danger of closure in 2024 without your generous support.

The Crowdfunder is now over.

You can go to https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-refugees-now to see the result.

Their website is at https://salusburyworld.org.uk/ . You can get information about their activities and how you can support them.

Salusbury World are a brilliant local charity. We are happy to support this appeal from them.

We have a unique opportunity to double any donations made to our Champions for Children fundraising campaign until Tuesday lunchtime (21st June).

This is HUGE for us, so we would be immensely grateful if as many people as possible – who are able in these deeply straitened times – to take part.

The fundraising is in aid of our various programmes for young refugees to support them to thrive in their new communities.

There is more detail on the campaign page, but you can guarantee that every penny will be put to good use and will make a big difference to young people in NW London.

Our mission is to support and empower refugee and migrant children, young people and families to overcome obstacles, realise their rights and potential and participate fully in society.

Help Salusbury World support children from migrant and refugee families by volunteering as an educational mentor

msnorbury — Sat, 13 Oct 2018 17:16:33 +0000

Salusbury World run a mentoring club at Queen’s Park Community School and at Capital City Academy supporting children from migrant and refugee families in education.

That support is mostly delivered by local volunteers. They help with homework, with English language skills and with general confidence building. The aim is to enable them to play a full role in the academic and extra-curricular life of their school. Sessions take place at the two schools from Mondays to Thursdays at 3pm or 3.30pm, depending on which one is convenient for you. They last approximately an hour.

Salusbury World also recruit volunteers for after school club help at the primary school where we are based – Salusbury Primary School on Salusbury Road.

This is the time of year when they need to recruit new volunteers in as great a number as possible. The link below offers descriptions of all the roles and an application form. You get full training and supervision and they are obviously happy to answer any questions potential volunteers may have about how the mentoring programme works. There’s no need for specialist skills – no teaching experience, no lesson preparation is expected. Just a willingness to help and the time to do so.

If you are interested in volunteering or require further information, use this link to the Salusbury World website or contact volunteering@salusburyworld.org.uk
