Volunteering
As a small, independent organisation, YREN relies heavily on the support of volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering with YREN please contact us.
YREN provides an independent and impartial information support service and advocacy for people who are experiencing racial harassment, victimisation, discrimination or social isolation.
One of YREN’s main roles is to promote and encourage community cohesion and engagement:
- so there is a common vision and a sense of belonging for all;
- where the diversity of people’s backgrounds and circumstances is appreciated and positively valued;
- in order that those from different backgrounds have similar life opportunities, and
- to develop strong and positive relationships between people from different backgrounds and circumstances in the workplace, in schools and in neighbourhoods.
YREN is a ‘user-led’ charity, which means that our membership has a say in what and how we deliver our aims, and a high proportion of our members play a part in providing our services.
One way you can offer support to YREN is to complete our anonymous 2020 membership and supporter survey. It should take about 15 to 30 minutes of your time to complete, depending on how much you would like to tell us. Your contribution will provide vital information which will help our Board of Trustees to make decisions and make sure our work targets the greatest needs of our community. We look forward to hearing from you, please click the link below.
