New to Leeds has been revised and updated

Resource Information







2024-06-21T12:43:16+01:0021st June, 2024|

New to Leeds is the definitive guide to life in Leeds for New Migrants. We’ve updated and expanded it with a whole section for newly granted refugees - spelling out exactly what folks need to do to make a successful transition from seeking asylum to becoming a refugee. Like the previous 2 versions, it’s been designed for use on a smartphone, and can be translated into 20 languages at the touch of a button. All 1500+ links have all been checked, as has the advice and guidance, so you can be sure that the information here is correct. Each entry is also dated, so you can see how long it has been since the page was checked. Massive thanks to everyone involved in this (and previous) updates. You can read more about how this site was put together here: About this Website - New to Leeds
