Volunteering

We understand just how important volunteering is, not only for society as a whole but also for the individuals who decide to get involved. Volunteering provides people with an opportunity to contribute to good causes and also to develop personally. It can provide a pathway into work or new experiences to help open other avenues in life. Volunteering from amongst the BME community is also a great tool to combat divisive narratives about Minority communities.

REMA supports a range of community activities and organisations with volunteers. Our work includes:

Engagement and promotion of volunteering opportunities
Development of volunteers (Training and Peer support)
Policy development and advice for local BME groups
Volunteer coordination and management to support civic events
