  • BIASAN Has been welcoming asylum seekers and refugees to Bradford for the last 25 years with support and friendship. We are a community of refugees, asylum seekers and unpaid volunteers, and we receive no regular funding from local or central government. Our members come from all over the world, fleeing war and persecution. Because of the decline in provision in the area, we find ourselves increasingly helping in new ways and developing services for which there is a desperate need. At the moment we are offering the following services:-

  • weekly drop-ins for women men and children

  • English classes

  • creative activities

  • gym sessions

  • outings, including annual seaside trip

  • shared meals

  • activities for children

  • guidance and information

  • support to access specialist services

  • legal guidance

  • help with volunteering

  • sim cards

  • free haircuts

  • free clothing for adults and children

  • equipment for children and babies e.g. nappies and buggies

  • furniture for people setting up their first home in the UK

    The emphasis of everything we do is on the word community. At present we meet every Thursday, currently at Bradford Deaf Centre 25 Hallfield Road Bradford BD1 3RP. Women's Club meet from 1:30 to 3:30, and then the Drop-in from 3:30 to 6:00 PM is open to everybody. Every week there is free hot food available, with cooks from countries all over the world taking it in turns to provide delicious meals. The storage unit which is situated on Rawson Road, behind John Street market operates Monday to Friday. BIASAN was awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2021.
