WELCOME TO LANCASTER

This city is a welcoming place for asylum seekers. In the past we had a Lunch for asylum seekers and refugees every week at the YMCA at LA1 1EZ, but because of coronavirus this is not possible. However, there is lots of support and opportunities for asylum seekers. There is lots of information online at www.refugeehome.uk including in different languages. At www.refugeehome.uk/Globallink you will find lots of videos about life, culture and work in the UK. If you need a lawyer call Primus Solicitors on 0161 2225860 or 0793813674. If you need help registering with doctors or dentists, accessing school places, food or clothing then call or text Global Link staff who can arrange interpreters if necessary. Call Sophie on Mondays and Fridays on 07484686947 and Nadia on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays on 07483237596. There are opportunities to meet other people and go for walks, cycle rides and grow your own vegetables on a community farm.
