South Yorkshire Refugee Law and Justice is a grassroots legal charity providing immigration legal services in South Yorkshire to people seeking sanctuary and migrants in who are at risk of human rights abuses.
We offer free legal representation to people whose asylum claims have been refused, we work to increase access to justice across the region, we provide training and qualification routes to practitioners entering the legal profession and pursuing a career in immigration and human rights law, and we advocate for a fair system for all migrants in the UK.
We are regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) and authorised to provide immigration legal advice and representation up to IAA Level 3.
We provide legal representation and casework to those whose asylum claims have been refused, are living in South Yorkshire, and who do not have any other legal representation in place.
We are immigration specialists and focus on Human Rights related legal issues. We do not do private immigration work and we cannot offer advice or representation about other areas of law.
We do not currently take on initial asylum claims or appeals work.

To make a referral please complete the form below and email to us at info@syrlj.org.uk. We aim to respond to new referrals as quickly as possible, however please bear in mind that we are a very small team and our capacity is limited.
We regularly attend City of Sanctuary Sheffield’s multi-agency drop-in at Victoria Hall in Sheffield, and Barnsley Borough City of Sanctuary's multi-agency drop-in at Hope House in Barnsley.
If you or someone you know needs legal advice and isn’t sure where else to go they may find it helpful to attend one of our drop-in sessions.
We offer training to practitioners on various subjects related to immigration law and legal services.
We also run events and workshops for community groups to support with understanding and responding to the current legal situation and the hostile environment.
For further information on either of these please contact us at the email address below.
