About AMINA-Muslim Womens Resource Centre

MWRC provides many services aimed at encouraging the development of Muslim women and through this the Muslim community. The services we provide enable continuous study and evaluation of the changing needs of Muslim women. These will be used as a basis of discussion with local authorities and other service providers to help make their services more responsive to the needs of Muslim women and Muslim community in general. All our services operate within a strict code of confidentiality and non-judmentalism. Though MWRC tailors its services to suite the needs of Muslim women, the centre welcomes all women to access our services. WE aim to offer services in the users first language using interpreters where necessary.

Skills & Experience

Volunteers should have the ability to relate to a wide range of people, be non-judgemental and have a commitment to anti-discrimination. You should be willing to commit some time every week and be able to attend training. We would be especially keen to hear from women who can speak Kurdish, Arabic, Swahili, Urdu or Punjabi, however this is not essential as most of our service users speak English.
