Welcome to Sheffield

Reflections on eight years experience of receiving resettled refugees at the local level

The 2012 publication describes how strong local partnerships between the city, its NGO and civil society partners and Sheffield citizens have contributed to the ongoing success and growth of the Sheffield resettlement programme. 

‘Welcome to Sheffield’ also profiles resettlement in the UK Yorkshire and Humber region in which Sheffield is located, including via contributions from resettled refugees themselves, and provides top tips for ‘doing’ resettlement at the local level in areas including planning, arrival and reception, support for integration and working with local media.  It includes case studies and personal reflections from refugees resettled to the UK, including those from Congo, Iraq, Burma and Somalia.
