We're a small team of passionate individuals, determined to support and empower displaced young people to know they are more than their status, and help them find their place within their local community.
None of our work would be possible without our team of brilliant and committed volunteers. Last year, our volunteers donated 3229 hours to supporting our projects and events; leading English language sessions, offering casework support, mentoring young people, searching and applying for funding, and so much more.
"Volunteering with Big Leaf is one of the best things I've done. I always leave with such a big smile on my face. The community that Big Leaf has created is so welcoming and inspiring. I feel so lucky that I get to spend time with such a fantastic group of people laughing and connecting over games, language and good food." Hannah, Redhill Hub Volunteer
