Volunteer introduction / Why It Matters CTa
Mission Possible invites you to step beyond yourself and take part in meaningful, hands-on service rooted in shared humanity. Rather than giving from afar, you will work directly with refugees and vulnerable families, distributing essential aid such as food packs, winter supplies, and hygiene kits while listening to their stories firsthand.
Guided by an experienced team and a structured programme, you will also contribute to home improvements, school upkeep and children’s activities. Daily reflection sessions link your service to faith, gratitude and purpose, allowing each act of support to foster dignity, hope, resilience and personal spiritual growth.
“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be their charity.”
Travel overseas to empower communities through environmental and humanitarian projects.
How it Works
Mission Possible deployments follow a clear, supportive process from application to reflection, so you always know what to expect and feel confident every step of the journey.
01: APPLY & FUNDRAISE
Complete a short application form, tell us a bit about yourself and choose the Mission Possible deployment you’d like to join.
02: TRAIN & PREPARE
Attend a briefing where you’ll learn about the itinerary, health and safety, cultural etiquette and how your fundraising supports the projects you’ll work on.
03: DEPLOY & DELIVER
Travel with the team, follow a structured daily schedule and spend your days delivering aid, supporting projects and reflecting together each evening.
On deployment, our days began early as we packed food parcels, loaded vans and travelled out to camps and neighbourhoods where refugees waited patiently in the sun. Handing over a winter blanket, a hygiene pack, or a toy for a child felt like such a small gesture, yet the reactions were overwhelming. Parents smiled in relief, children laughed and clung to our hands, and elderly beneficiaries made heartfelt duas for the group. Each evening, we gathered to reflect, share our emotions, and connect what we had witnessed with our faith. The experience was humbling, challenging and uplifting all at once, a reminder that real change starts when we show up, listen and serve together.
