This toolkit is designed to support those working with refugee, migrant and receiving communities in the Yorkshire and Humber region to build the foundations for meaningful social connections and promote social cohesion.

It encourages the reader to think about how they can contribute to creating villages, towns and cities that are welcoming and which invite everyone – no matter their immigration status – into the fold. It is designed to:

  • provide an evidence base and share our research findings
  • inspire action through the words of Yorkshire and the Humber residents 
  • showcase best practice through local and national case studies 
  • offer practical guidance and tools
  • be a repository of key resources.
