Bremain in Spain is a voluntary organisation that is campaigning to #StopBrexit, and to protect the rights of UK citizens in Spain, and across the EU.
The Bremain team is led by the Bremain Council and a dedicated team of volunteers, with a broad range of skills. As we grow, so does the need for a more defined structure, and the demand for volunteers is ever-increasing. We are currently putting together two new teams and are looking for new recruits to help us. Whether you can only spare a few minutes, or are willing to offer a few hours, please consider joining our band of volunteers. We have outlined a few specific roles that we need to fill, but there are opportunities for anyone interested to help, whether you fit one of the “job descriptions” or not. If you are interested in a specific role, or in helping out on a more adhoc basis, please email us at enquiries@bremaininspain.com with your details.
We look forward to expanding our volunteer team, and to keeping up the fight against Brexit – together we are stronger.
Thank you to all our existing volunteers for their tireless help and support, and we hope to welcome many more!
