The Hummingbird Refugee Project is a Brighton based grassroots charity working with young refugees across Sussex. Our services have been developed by listening & responding to the needs of local young refugees. As well as Global Social Club, we also offer a Learning Space, 1:1 support and a Young Leaders’ Group. We also actively campaign for the rights & protection of refugees. Read more here: https://www.hummingbirdproject.org.uk/

-We are striving to develop a team that is more representative of the young people we serve. This means we particularly welcome applications from people with lived experiences of racism, migration, displacement or being a refugee.
