Eligibility and referral Information.
- We only accept referrals for refugees or asylum seekers.
- We welcome referrals from health professionals, support organisations and concerned family and friends.
- It is important that, prior to making a referral, all referrers discuss the potential of working with Solace with the person concerned. For many people the idea of getting help with their psychological distress is a new concept. The downloadable leaflet here might help to explain what we can help with.
Leeds
(Waiting list is currently closed)
We have temporarily closed our general waiting list for adult referrals into Leeds projects due to high demand – important exceptions are people who meet the criteria for UNHCR resettlement, and Connecting Opportunities projects which are still open for new referrals. More details on this page.
