Websites

For links to organisations working in the field of asylum, go to Other Organisations.

The Relief Web website is a good resource for understanding the political and economic climate in the countries that many asylum seekers have come from.

Charity Giving is a great way to donate to the work we do; they even sort out the Gift Aid for us as well which is nice.

Easy Fundraising is a really simple way to raise money for the Boaz Trust whilst you shop. Simply use the links from their website to connect to over 600 of the UKs best retailers, including Amazon, HMV and John Lewis and up to 15% of every purchase you make is donated to the cause you choose to nominate. The service is completely free. Just sign up, click on ‘Find a Cause’, and you will find us under T for ‘The Boaz Trust’.

Easy Search is another fantastic way to support us every time you search the web; use it as your search engine and 50% of the fees paid by the advertising sponsors will go to your chosen cause. Simply sign up, click on ‘Find a Cause’, find us under T for ‘The Boaz Trust’, and start searching!

We recently came across this online game on the UN Refugee Agency website – the aim is to give you an insight into what it is like to be an asylum seeker. Have a go and see how you get on!
