Sheffield Poem-a-thon for refugees and asylum seekers · 2 April 2016

ASSIST works with people in Sheffield who have been refused asylum in the UK. They are evicted from their Home Office accommodation and forced into destitution. We provide our clients with stable, dignified accommodation, regular financial support and a person-centred casework service.

Story

Personally I've benefitted enormously from the example of Tibetans who had to flee their homeland after the Chinese invasion. These people, despite adversity, maintained an unkillable sense of humour and have made much of their lives despite adversity. So my story is about the opportunity for enrichment that comes from cultural exchange. I'm sure that, given a little initial help, new settlers to the UK and to Sheffield will do the same.
