You can partner with Global Aid Network (GAiN) to provide essential and practical support to the refugees arriving into Southern Europe. By taking a team of volunteers directly to the Hotspot Camp Moria in Lesvos, Greece, GAiN and the team will be able to help make life changing differences to those stranded in the camps.
We have connected with local faith-based organisations who have been working with the government to provide additional supplies and care to the families living in these temporary transition camps. Through this partnership we are able to spend time in Greece, giving attention to both the physical and emotional needs of the refugees living there.
In response to this humanitarian crisis we welcome volunteers who are motivated, with a heart of compassion to join with us to serve and learn from the people we seek to help. In the words of one of the students who came with us in previous years;
“If you want to do something that will really benefit the people you meet, experience another culture and see how little people actually need to be truly happy, then I’d recommend this trip to you. It’s challenging in so many ways, everyone will grow and gain something from this trip.”

Funding your project…
A large part of this project will involve you raising the funds to cover the cost of your travel to Greece and your in-country expenses. Once you have applied and been accepted to join the project, we will send you a training pack that includes resources to help spark ideas for raising your funds. It is best to start fundraising as soon as you receive confirmation of your acceptance onto the project; this way you have plenty of time to fund-raise before the payment deadlines.
There will be deadlines for you to make staged payments which then build up to the final payment. The first payment is a non-refundable £100 deposit which is used to secure your place. This payment is due within one week of being offered a place on the project. Your local GAiN or Agapé contact will be available to help you with any queries that might arise with regards to fundraising and deadlines.
