New Scots from Syria, Jamil Behar and Ali Aslibi, have rolled their sleeves up to volunteer at Cancer Research UK and Barnardo’s shops in Irvine.
North Ayrshire Council has supported them in their roles at the charities by providing New Scots Community Link Worker Soultan Albarghouth, who speaks Arabic, to help them through the application process.
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) team has also offered guidance and assisted them with filling in application forms and paperwork.
