Student Voice

Student Action for Refugees is a national charity which aims to build a society where refugees and asylum seekers are welcomed.  

In a nutshell, STAR is: 

• a student network, running in over 50 universities spread across the UK
• committed to improving the lives of refugees and asylum seekers seeking a safer home here in the UK
• a network which challenges preconceptions of refugees and asylum seekers and campaigns and volunteers to help achieve our main aim.

Would you like to Get Involved?

We are looking for students who would like to help build Strathclyde's very first STAR group.

What this could look like is up to you! 

Examples of what other STAR groups do:

• Volunteer locally working directly with refugees, building understanding and connections
• Campaign nationally for policy change and equal access to higher education for refugees
• Fundraise for refugee and asylum seeker charities in Glasgow and across the UK
• Learn about refugee protection and the asylum journey in the UK with experts and peers

If you are interested, please get a STAR membership at the bottom of the page.

We will be in touch at the start of the academic year to arrange our first STAR group meeting!
