Organisation description

Our mission is to welcome asylum seekers and refugees in and around Leicester, and support them to rebuild their lives, develop their skills and feel part of the community. We offer a range of vital services and wider enrichment opportunities to asylum seekers and refugees: a central Hub with welcome, support services and lunch; ESOL classes; family activities; plus football and sewing/knitting sessions. Our New Evidence Search Team helps those, whose asylum claims have been rejected, to find new evidence for an appeal. We work in partnership with many other charities and organisations.
