Project for
Refugee

Growth
SPRING is a collaboration of six organisations helping refugees settle into the local community.
We offer help to refugees when they receive “leave to remain” and need support accessing housing, benefits and immigration advice. We also help with practical issues such as opening a bank account and registering with a GP.
Once these urgent needs have been addressed, we support individuals with their longer term integration, such as learning English, routes into volunteering, education, training, and finding a job.
We can provide limited support for those who’ve experienced trauma and also signpost to a variety of activities supporting mental and physical wellbeing across Sheffield.

The Sanctuary is open, and walk-in support is available Monday-Thursday, 10am – 4pm.
Every individual will be warmly welcomed at The Sanctuary, where they strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment.
