Our people

Volunteers

ASSIST Sheffield is a charity with around 140 volunteers, some of whom are themselves people seeking sanctuary. The work we do is totally dependant on their efforts and dedication. We value them all.

We are always on the lookout for more volunteers. If you’d like to get involved, please contact us.
