RAY works with refugees and asylum seekers in York to make a difference in their lives. Last year RAY supported over 1,000 people, through a team of 10 staff (mostly part-time) and over 100 volunteers. The Trustee Board has responsibility for the strategy and direction of the charity, and a direct impact on the work RAY does. We know that our work makes a tangible difference, from our own monitoring systems and confirmed by a recent External Evaluation which commented on “..the effectiveness of this small, well-targeted and exceptionally well-delivered project”.
