Oxford Student Action for Refugees

Campaigning for the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. We are currently supporting the still human still here campaign, which calls for an end to the destitution of asylum seekers many of whom are forced into destitution. We organise speaker events, fundraising band nights and encourage volunteering with local asylum charities, for example through food collections.
We have close links with the Oxford University Amnesty International group and often hold joint events and campaigns with them.

News & Announcements

Play sports with young refugees this Friday

E-mail newsletter sent by Ellie Bates, Tuesday 22nd June 2010 @ 3:21pm

Hi guys,
Our volunteering wing of STAR is running a big summer party for all the young people from the Bridging project (a project in Oxford that works with young asylum seekers and refugees) and we really need some volunteers to help out with it. It is this Friday afternoon between 1-4pm at Pembroke Sports grounds on the Abingdon Road.
We are running several sports including football, basketball, cricket and Frisbee as well as a enormous picnic. We need people to help out/play the sports or just help with the food and hang out and chat in the sun. It is looking like it will be a great afternoon and should be a great way for Oxford students to hang out in a relaxed atmosphere with some of the young refugees from Oxford.

Send me an email asap if you are interested in helping out ellie.bates@pmb.ox.ac.uk
