Leeds Asylum Seekers Support Network

Leeds Asylum Seekers’ Support Network (LASSN) is a registered charity set up in 1999 to respond to the pressing unmet needs of refugees and asylum seekers living in Leeds, many of whom have limited English, experience acute isolation, poor mental health, and prolonged uncertainty over their asylum claim. LASSN helps more than 200 volunteers to support 400 asylum seekers and refugees each year. We also provide destitute asylum seekers with the emergency financial support and accommodation they need to survive over the winter months.
