complemented by an appointments system. Clients work with their
caseworker to agree a casework plan to address their individual needs
and help build their knowledge, confidence and independence. The project
is primarily delivered by a team of volunteers recruited and managed by
the Project Co-ordinators, with many volunteers drawn from local asylum
seeker and refugee communities.Overall Purpose of the Post
