West End Refugee Service
Immigration Services in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear
In February 1998 a tiny group of volunteers led by the current Project Director Lindsay Cross started to work with asylum seekers living in Benwell, in the West End of Newcastle, delivering 2nd-hand clothing, blankets and food parcels. The clothing and blankets were initially stored in Lindsay's garage. With the support of many of the local churches, the work speedily developed and in 1999 West End Refugee Service was established. Funding for 3 part-time posts was initially secured from the Church Urban Fund, St Hilda's Trust and the J Paul Getty Trust.
