Refugees & People Seeking Asylum

Creative projects and practical support for refugees and People Seeking Asylum.

In 2014, we became the first ever Theatre of Sanctuary.

This means we are committed to being a place of safety, hospitality and support for refugees and People Seeking Asylum.

We work closely with refugee organisations and with volunteers from refugees and People Seeking Asylum in Leeds to offer a range of creative and practical projects, and we welcome those who join us to our Playhouse community.
