Making a referral

We welcome referrals from health professionals, support organisations and concerned family and friends.  We only accept referrals for Refugees or Asylum seekers. 

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.  

Most Leeds and Bradford waiting lists are currently suspended

We have temporarily closed our general waiting list for referrals into most Leeds and Bradford projects. However, please check the important exceptions below for your referral. 

Outside Leeds and Bradford, we can accept referrals from Kirklees, Calderdale and Sheffield (see below).

There are some other exceptions to who can currently be referred into our Leeds service. Please see here for eligibility:

We still welcome and encourage referrals from the following:

UNHCR Syrian Vulnerable Person’s Resettlement Scheme and the Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme in West and North Yorkshire, and East Ridings.
