Alice Tooley - Move-On Adviser
I work on the New Roots project supporting newly granted refugees with transitioning from asylum support to independent living. My role can be challenging because my clients are going through an incredibly stressful time, where they often encounter barriers to securing an income and suitable housing under the time constraint of only 28 days. Despite the challenges, I have seen the real difference that we are making to help refugees rebuild their lives. During my time at RETAS I have developed a passion for challenging the systemic barriers that refugees and asylum seekers come up against. I also love learning new languages- I can speak French and Spanish and I am now learning Arabic. |
Fatima Mahmood - Education and Employment Adviser
I joined RETAS as an Education and Employment Adviser in January of this year, after volunteering for the organization for 6 months. I completed my Masters degree in International Law from Brunel University in west London, and moved back to Yorkshire shortly after. I worked in the corporate and education sectors, before finally actualizing my true passion of working with one of the most vulnerable groups of people in society - refugees. I work full time on the 28-day transition project, which can be quite intense at times, but is always extremely rewarding. |
