The people volunteering on the frontline of humanitarian crises can see how valuable their work is. But when things are so tough for others, it can be difficult to admit just how rewarding it is to be a volunteer. It’s selfish altruism and we think it should be celebrated.

06. Ian McAuslane: "It's all about the people"

Ian has just returned from volunteering in Cyprus and that is now his 5th volunteering trip for Refugee Support since 2017!

Having done a lot of volunteering for other organisations, he liked the structure at Refugee Support. But that’s not what keeps him coming back - it’s the people. Listening to those we are supporting is inspiring but also a way for them to be heard. And then there are the volunteers who can be any age from anywhere in the world and spending time with them is always rewarding.

We have a lot of love for Ian because not only does he do all this, regularly fundraise and do a lot in his own community, he is part of the interviewing time recruiting new volunteers.The best kind of people!
