Volunteer "BUMP Befrienders" (Birmingham Area)
BUMP stands for the Befriending Unaccompanied Minors Project. It's a unique project run by Save the Children, working with young refugees in Birmingham, Solihull and neighbouring areas.
BUMP supports young unaccompanied asylum seekers and refugees who are 14-18 years old. These young people have come to the UK alone, without their parents. They are often very isolated and find it difficult to meet people and make friends.
BUMP aims to help these young people to develop the confidence and skills that will help them integrate and re-build their lives in the UK.
