This is a new role to unlock the potential of support from community and commercial sources.
We are seeking someone with an ambitious can-do approach to focus on raising unrestricted funds from three funding strands:
Refuweegee is celebrating its tenth year of welcoming forcibly displaced people to Glasgow, and broader Scotland. We are a small team of six full-time staff and nine part-time staff welcoming approximately 1,000 visitors to our space every week.
Our visitors depend upon Refuweegee as a welcoming and supportive environment that provides essential material help, emotional stability, social connection and a sense of dignity.
We work hard be a place of belonging, emotional safety and friendship for people. Our work has always been driven by community demand: we adapt to what people need and want.
Refuweegee is recognised as an effective pathway to integration, confidence-building and social participation: we are a sanctuary for forcibly displaced people.
We are here for everyone, no questions asked. This wholly inclusive approach is a deliberate act to build bridges between communities.
We care for our visitors, and we care for our staff. We constantly review well-being and professional development and provide group training and individual opportunities.
