Boaz Trust's Urgent Appeal for Volunteers

posted: 21/06/2011

The BOAZ Trust here in Manchester often finds hosts for GHT's destitute service users. Hosts are people with a spare room and big hearts! Some hosts take guests for a few days or weeks and others more long term.

GHT supports a number of men and women who are living with HIV who are homeless and literally destitute. They are people who have unsuccessfully applied for asylum. they live with the
constant fear that they may be forcibly returned to their country of origin where they may face torture or imprisonment and will struggle to get the ARV's thet they need to stay well and alive.

If you are interested in finding out more about being a Boaz host, contact Cat at the Boaz office on 0161 202 1056 or hosting@boaztrust.org.uk She will be happy to answer your questions and to arrange to meet with you to discuss the hosting process.

Boaz Trust is looking for two paid workers. Boaz Trust works with destitute asylum seekers in the Manchester area. They aim to provide accommodation for those who are homeless, along with food and other essentials. They also provide individual advocacy and support, and campaign for justice in asylum legislation as a Christian charity.

Boaz Trust works closely with George House Trust and provide invaluable help when there are almost no other solutions available.

They want to recruit a full-time service manager, who will manage their day-to-day work, and a part-time fundraising and communications officer.

The closing date for both jobs is Friday 9th July. Full details and application forms on their website.
