This is an exciting opportunity to manage a long established and highly valued service for asylum seekers and refugees.

This will involve working closely and collaboratively with other refugee agencies, community groups, and statutory sector services.

You will manage, motivate, and co-ordinate a small staff team as well as our fabulous team of dedicated volunteers.

The post is open to people of all faiths and none willing to embrace a shared ethos of treating people with compassion, dignity, and respect. This is a permanent contract for 21 hours per week (Mondays on site, remaining hours can be worked flexibly consistent with the needs of the job).

Funding Success!

We are delighted to share the news that we have been successful in securing a grant from the Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund, delivered by The National Lottery Community Fund. This will help keep the project doors open for the rest of the year!

Christmas Appeal 2023

Meeting Point celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023, and has also been our busiest on record, supporting over 600 refugees and asylum seekers throughout the year.

It’s been a tough year for many, but for those in society who already started it marginalised and disadvantaged, it has been even harder.

We are wanting to make this Christmas special in some way for everyone and so are launching our Christmas appeal with that in mind.

New winter warmers: Socks/ gloves/ scarves

Toiletries gift sets
