Student Action for Refugees (STAR) is a national student-led organisation supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. We hope to be a safe space for anyone from a migrant or refugee bacground.
Hello everyone! We are UWE STAR.
We aim to:
Raise awareness and educate students and the community on refugees' political, economic, and social issues, on a local as well as global scale
Provide a safe and inclusive space for refugees to interact with others and belong to a community, through cultural exchanges, support groups, or social events.
Create opportunities for students to contribute back to the local refugee communities by volunteering their time and skills on mentoring, English language learning, etc.
Collaborate with regional and national organisations that assist refugees in order to increase their influence and scope.
Fundraise for charities and organisations that support refugees.
We will be organizing fundraiser events, creating volunteering opportunities for those students who want to invest their time helping people. And the most important thing is we want to spread a message that students from any background are welcome at UWE.
