We are proud to be home to Meeting Point Leeds.
Meeting Point Leeds started at Christ Church in February 2003 and works with refugees and asylum seekers across Leeds. Meeting Point aims to serve the needs of refugees and asylum seekers regardless of their background or legal status.
They principally aim to work with refugees and asylum seekers towards social integration and also provide a range of suitable community provisions in association with other organisations to meet the needs of our beneficiaries; this includes health, employment, advice, family support or food provision.
