RASA is a multicultural organisation offering a free and confidential advice and support service for asylum seekers and refugees in a range of specialist topics including: immigration, assistance with National Asylum Support Service (NASS), welfare benefits, employment, health and housing

RASA\'s aims are fourfold:

1. To provide a focus for support to enable refugees and asylum seekers to access services to ensure their health, well-being and safety.
2. To provide advocacy which will build people\'s confidence to support themselves and promote their quality of life.
3. To promote refugees\' integration into mainstream society.
4. To provide a community focus where refugees from different cultures can meet to find friendship and share experiences.

The principal vision of Rasa is to look forward to a time when people forget the labels “refugee” or “immigrant” and see each other as friends and neighbours.

It is hoped that by providing this website we will increase awareness of our work and help those who need our help to find us and know they are not alone. If you have come to this Website but are not in the Wakefield District please contact us and we will try to provide details of a local Advocacy group that can help. RASA is registered with the OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner).
