PAFRAS offers casework support to asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers who live in the Leeds area every Wednesday from 9.45am at St Aidans Community Hall in Harehills. Our weekly drop-in is extremely busy and we can only see a limited number of people every week. We recommend arriving as early as possible to give yourself the best chance of being seen.
At the drop-in we provide:
We are not able to help:
We help you to understand the long and complicated system so you can make informed choices.
