Leeds Asylum Seekers Support Network
Key takeaways
- The charity exists to support asylum seekers and refugees facing hardship, poverty or distress, so a request should show a direct link to that group, and work for other people is unlikely to fit.
- Its stated geographic focus is the Leeds Metropolitan District, so a project based there is the closest match to what it describes.
- Neither its annual giving nor its grant range is stated, as the annual report gives no grants figure that could be read, so there is no basis for a realistic request size, and it is worth asking the charity before you set a figure.
- No application process is published in the annual report, register entry or website, so start by using the listed contact to ask how to apply and when.
- Nothing published says how competitive it is or whether it works mainly through relationships, so a clear, specific proposal is the safest approach.
