I volunteer at Plateful Café because I’m inspired by its mission to empower local refugees through food. Through my three years at the café I’ve met such fantastic people – both refugees and volunteers who are all committed to making our community a more inclusive and delicious place!

Volunteer Roles for Asylum Seekers

At Plateful Café, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to feel valued, active, and connected. We offer volunteering opportunities to people seeking asylum who are not permitted to work while awaiting a decision on their status. Many asylum seekers live in hostels or temporary accommodation and can spend months, or even years, with little to do beyond waiting for a Home Office decision. 

Our volunteering programme provides structure, purpose, and community, helping people develop skills, build confidence, and maintain wellbeing during an uncertain and often isolating time.
