Asylum seekers and refugees in the UK have experienced trauma. We want to help them integrate into UK life, make friends and learn English. But we would also like to provide other things that asylum seekers can't afford on £45 a week (£9.10 for those in hotels), e.g. sports activities and outings.

Story

Being an asylum seeker is hard. People have to escape from their own countries for many reasons - war, repressive regimes, persecution for belonging to the wrong religion or simply being homosexual.  They have travelled thousands of miles across difficult terrain, often at the mercy of people smugglers.  Then they arrived in a country that can be unwelcoming.  But some find a place where people smile, help them with English, help to navigate the asylum system and to understand UK culture. Somewhere they feel they belong:  Conversation Club Leeds.
