Your School Can Help to Support Young Refugees
We are constantly inspired by the kindness of younger generations, who we find have such a curiosity to learn and want to support one another no matter their background. This includes the young refugees that we work with. We are really keen to spread awareness and involve school communities within our work, whether it is through fundraising or teaching them about our work.
“Fundraising for Young Roots has been a really meaningful experience for our school community. As a whole school, we voted to support Young Roots, and it’s been inspiring for our students to come together around a cause that has such a tangible impact. The process has helped build a strong sense of purpose and teamwork, and we’re proud to support the important work the organisation does”
