Asylum Link Merseyside
is a grassroots charitable organisation that mobilises people of goodwill to offer a compassionate welcome and continuing support to those seeking asylum in Merseyside.
 
Our Vision is 
to challenge discrimination and injustice in the treatment of asylum seekers and refugees through befriending, advocacy, direct assistance and education.

Our Aim is 
to enable asylum seekers and refugees of all faiths and cultures to live in dignity, participating fully in the life of their local communities and contributing to their diversity and enrichment.

Our History
Kensington Welcome, an informal organisation of be-frienders based in Kensington, was set up some years ago to offer friendship, practical support and, where possible, advice.  As demand grew it became clear that a more professional service was required. In response, Asylum Link Merseyside was formed in March 2001 and was based in St Anne's, the disused priory building next to St Anne's Church in Overbury Street.

ALM continues to grow rapidly and are constantly expanding and adapting to meet current demands.

We endevour
to offer a wide range of services and support to asylum seekers at our centre in St Anne’s, Overbury Street, Liverpool. We are open every weekday from 9am - 4pm.
