The Regional Asylum Project is an exciting new project which will use regional organising to achieve a louder, better coordinated voice for asylum seekers.

It is a partnership with ‘Still Human Still Here’ and will seek to support existing campaigns. STAR will be acting in the role of National Co-ordinator
It aims to enhance grass roots and national campaigns, increase the involvement of those with direct experience of asylum, and build a movement in support of change. Funding is confirmed for 12 months, the project is anticipated to continue for at least a further two years.
You will work in partnership with existing organisations to develop, refine and implement strategies for promoting change in the region. You will have experience of working with asylum seekers/refugees; skills in building networks and partnerships, campaigning expertise; and an openness and commitment to the project being directed by the priorities of community organisations and local organisations working with asylum seekers.
