Student Action for Refugees

Join

A society for students concerned with the situation of refugees and asylum seekers in Britain and worldwide. One of our main activities is to volunteer in the Notre Dame Center for Refugees at Leicester Square, where we give job search support to refugees. We also started a Campaign at LSE that asked for equal access for refugees to higher education. As of right now, refugees are classified as international students when applying to the LSE, and would therefore have to pay international fees. We want to campaign the school's administration to change that. 

Lastly, as being the local chapter of a national network (www.stars-network.org.uk), we can draw on resources from the National Office to do awareness-raising about refugee issues, or attend national conferences about asylum.
