We produce a quarterly Newsletter called Friends of LASSN to keep our supporters and funders informed of developments across the organisation, and the impact we are having more widely.

In January 2018 we ran an extremely successful campaign to raise awareness of Grace Hosting, gaining coverage across a wide variety of local and regional media, as well as in the House of Commons. You can read more about this here.

LASSN is proud of the support it lends to a number of campaigns such as

• Lift the Ban – The Campaign to allow asylum seekers the right to work
• City of Sanctuary – City of Sanctuary is a movement to build a culture of hospitality for people seeking sanctuary in the UK
• The Justice Alliance – Campaigning to uphold access to Legal Aid for all
• The Birmingham Declaration – A statement of principles we share with 250 other organisations working with refugees and asylum seekers, outlining the way we believe asylum seekers and refugees should be treated in the UK

We share all of our policies, procedures and training materials free of charge, so that anyone can use or adapt them. In 2019/20 we added even more ESOL teaching resources to our web pages, that anyone can use, as well as our evaluation of our Befriending project

We encourage people to take or adapt the information from the websites we maintain, because we think it’s nice to share.

We collaborate with Academics to help them meet and connect with asylum seekers, refugees and other migrants, as part of their research

We deliver talks and presentations to help spread understanding of asylum issues – like the talks we gave at Headingley Festival Ideas, the sessions we led on Migrant Families Under Pressure for social care students at Leeds Trinity University, and the discussions following the screening of the film Iuventa at Hyde Park Picture House/Leeds University.
