About

We are a specialist charity working with people seeking asylum, and new refugees, who are rebuilding their lives in Calderdale. 🧡 We give people the practical support they need to rebuild their lives with dignity, and we offer a range of activities that help people feel happier and more connected. We help with advice on immigration and asylum and offer one-to-one support with welfare, housing, health, and access to wider services. Renowned for our holistic and person-centred approach, we provide a welcoming, safe and inclusive space. We offer English language classes, training, creative, social, sports and wellbeing activities, trips and volunteering opportunities. We also run a befriending and integration service. Our centre has a free shop, salon, chill out room and garden, and we also refurbish bikes and second-hand tech. On Mondays and Thursdays, we provide a cooked lunch at our Welcome Cafe, which is free and open to everyone. Come and join us sometime! Together we are building a diverse community which challenges injustice and puts the needs and voices of our centre members at the heart of our work.
