The voice for refugees in Leeds since 2003

 LRF envisions that refugees and asylum seekers in Leeds feel welcome and safe, access support and are provided with every opportunity to rebuild their lives.

About Us

LRF is a refugee led charity founded in 2003.

Our Mission

LRF will be the voice for refugees and asylum seekers and be a key resource for refugees and asylum seekers.

Support Us

Join our diverse community with refugees and asylum seekers from over 30 different countries.

What We Do:

Practical Support: We offer practical support for refugees and asylum seekers through ESOL classes, homework clubs and youth groups.

Refugee Community Organisation Support: We develop and support community leaders through training, personal development, mentoring and one to one appointments.

Advocacy: We advocate for the needs and aspirations of refugee communities through billingual advocacy (by appointment only) and working collaboratively with other organisations to provide extra services for refugees and asylum seekers.

Community Social Space: We provide a community centre that is a safe space where refugees can meet and find mutual support.

Refugee Week: We celebrate refugees by annually hosting a celebration week in partnership with agencies across Leeds.

A voice for refugees for over 18 years

“I really like coming here, in fact, I love coming here. I always bring my three year old son to come here. He loves it!” (Zabib from Eritrea)
