Sport with refugee community at Plymouth Hope ('The Awakening')

Deskrizzjoni tal-attività

*2 vols to start from November 2019 (flexible)* Plymouth Hope was started in 2008 as a football club aimed at providing football activities to refugees and indigenous population living in the poorest areas of the city. Using football as a tool for community and social cohesion was its main focus and continued to be until in 2013: the organisation expanded to other sport-based community projects and youth work. From there our renewed vision became to continue to do what we were good at and also focus on supporting young people as well as engaging in work overseas using the same principles. The organisation has been widely recognised for its unique work of building bridges between communities and changing the race relations in Devon and Cornwall in the sporting and voluntary sector. Plymouth Hope has gone from a small community project to one of the most reputable organisations in the city. We now run the most diverse and multicultural events where participation is over 2000 per event.

Akkomodazzjoni, ikel u arranġamenti tat-trasport

Plymouth Hope can arrange either host families stay or rented accommodation. Volunteers will be collecting their pocket money as agreed, on weekly or monthly basis. PH will support the volunteers with opening a bank account if needed. Where a volunteer doesn't have a bank account, PH will consider giving them allowance in cash on a weekly basis to reduce any risks associated with cash handling of large sums. PH will take all the necessary steps to ensure the volunteer safety and positive integration at work and in the wider community.
