Mirza Baig, RMC volunteer to staff member

I was born in a place where from the very beginning of my childhood feel the warmth of the dispute. It shaped my ideas and political motivation. I was an active political, social worker and human rights activist in my hometown. I faced political victimization, torture and arrest more than a dozen times. I feel the human crises and deprivation of basic fundamental rights like freedom of speech and expression so I strongly believe in the ideology of human equality and freedom for all. I was a member of different Volunteer organizations in my area. With this background, I come to UK on a student Visa in 2022 and later sought protection have always tried to find a place where I can interact and integrate with the community.

The way local community and the state welcome the immigrants and support them so in return I believe that I am duty bound to serve them back. I started Volunteering with British Red Cross, Registered Volunteer with the NHS, and regular Blood Donor with the NHS and finally In January 2023 I secured a place with RMC as a Volunteer which provided me with ample opportunity to learn and explore my own knowledge and experience.

The real-time investment and support I received from the RMC enabled me that after two years and two months now I am part of the RMC as an advisor.
