Refugee Week 2026

16 June

10:30am-5pm

Drop in for free family-friendly arts and crafts.

We also have 30-minute sessions for free limited legal advice on asylum law which includes initial asylum claims, fresh claims, appeals at the first tier and upper tribunals. You can discuss process, procedure, provide advice on how to approach screening interviews, substantive interviews, look through refusals, and look at a limited amount of evidence.

Pop in from 10:30am-5pm.

The free legal advice sessions are provided by Jasmin Carrington-Wolf and are limited to 30 minutes per session. Advice covers asylum law only – including initial and fresh claims, appeals, screening and substantive interviews, and review of refusals and limited evidence. This service does not constitute ongoing legal representation or a solicitor-client relationship beyond the session itself. Sessions are first-come, first-served and cannot be pre-booked. SPARK York CIC is not responsible for the legal advice provided.
