The primary objective of the project is to contribute to further strengthening of the role of volunteers in times of crisis
in Europe; and more specifically, to provide evidence-based recommendations for the improvement of the voluntary
services on EU level.

The project created a survey to research volunteer sercies provided to refugees and
migrants in the UK, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary.
Refugees and migrants were mainly satisified with the work and dedication of volunteers,
as well as their coordination.
