City-centre Jobshop at Merrion House, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 8LX; other named community-hub locations across Leeds
0113 2224444 – shared council enquiry line,ask about Jobshops
Jobshops Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00, Tuesday 10:00 start. General council telephone Wed 10:00 start, other weekdays 09:00–17:00.
The council’s current service offers drop-in help with local vacancies, apprenticeships, CVs, applications and interviews without an appointment. Merrion House is one location, not the only Jobshop; use the nearest named community hub. Jobshop attendance and the general council telephone timetable differ on Wednesday. Ask about relevant support and travel-to-interview help where appropriate, but do not treat advice as a job offer, guaranteed funding or immigration permission.

The local volunteer centre helps people find suitable roles and supports organisations hosting volunteers. The own current page gives a Tuesday-to-Friday window, not an old Monday opening pattern, and identifies the market food court rather than the organisation’s Hunslet office. Help is available if forms or English are difficult. Check the particular role’s duties, screening, expenses and time commitment; volunteering is not paid employment or a guaranteed route to a job.

Explore adult vocational courses, part-time learning, Access to Higher Education and conditional funded opportunities. The live directory mixes dates, including future 2027starts and older course examples; confirm the actual intake rather than assuming every listing is open now. Contact-centre and webchat hours are not class or campus timetables. Fees, prior qualifications, residence and funding conditions vary, and an enquiry does not reserve a place.

0113 3055800
Charity office Mon–Thu09:00–17:00;Fri09:00–16:30. WorkPlace support and appointments arranged through the relevant referral route.
The charity offers specialist employment and job-retention support where mental health affects work. Eligibility differs by service and individual placement and support is linked to relevant mental-health or other support. The current Clarence House location replaces old De Lacey House directory details. Published charity-office hours are not a promise of an unbooked WorkPlace assessment. Contact the team about the appropriate referral,workshop or appointment before travelling.

Adults can discuss a child’s safety with safeguarding specialists. The current main telephone window is not 24 hours; the page separately lists wider BSL interpreting hours, which should not be treated as an extension of the ordinary helpline. Concerns can lead to referral to children’s services or police. Use 999 for immediate danger rather than waiting for a reply. Official own content was read separately after local 403 access, with the differing service windows retained.

The charity provides childcare and early-years research and parent-led programme information, including its 2026 holiday-childcare findings. Use this to understand childcare questions and prepare for a discussion with the local information service or provider. It is not a live Leeds vacancy finder, a funded-place decision or a childminder booking service. Individual opening times, charges, suitability and any funded-hours entitlement need to be checked with the actual setting.
Hospital postal address Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX; Emergency Department Jubilee Wing ground floor, entrance postcode LS2 9DA
0113 2432799 – hospital switchboard;999 immediate life-threatening emergencies
Emergency Department 24 hours daily; switchboard 24 hours. General inpatient visiting 14:00–20:00, subject to ward rules; children’s/critical-care visiting differs.
The public teaching hospital has adult and children’s Emergency Departments at the Jubilee Wing. The hospital postal postcode and the ED entrance postcode differ, so follow the current department directions rather than assuming every entrance reaches emergency care. The NHS department listing confirms round-the-clock ED opening, with a July 2026 confirmation date. Routine clinics require their own arrangements. General ward visiting is not a clinic timetable; check the ward, especially for children, maternity and intensive care.

0113 2433144 – site switchboard;999 emergencies
Site switchboard 24 hours. General inpatient visiting 14:00–20:00, check the ward; appointments, ED access and specialist units have separate arrangements.
The large public hospital provides specialist and general care, with the adult Emergency Department in Chancellors Wing. The trust explicitly directs children under 16 requiring an ED to Leeds General Infirmary rather than this adult department. Use the hospital’s own 01132433144 number, not only the trust-wide footer. The published 24-hour label belongs to the switchboard and is not evidence that every outpatient clinic is open overnight. Check appointment letters and current ward access before travelling.

UTC daily 08:00–23:00 including bank holidays; illness provision until 18:00; limited X-ray until 20:30, subject to assessment and capacity.
The Local Care Direct centre treats suitable urgent minor illnesses and injuries that cannot wait for an ordinary GP appointment. Its own page excludes babies under six months and pregnancy-related conditions. X-ray covers only specified body areas and is not automatically required or available for every injury. The centre can reach capacity before closing; call 111 if unsure where to go and do not treat opening as a guaranteed same-day slot. The corporate Huddersfield office is not this Leeds treatment location.
York Road, Seacroft, Leeds LS14 6UH
0113 2648164 – site switchboard
Switchboard 24 hours; individual clinics by appointment. Trust general inpatient visiting 14:00–20:00 where relevant, confirm the actual ward or unit.
This is the public hospital site for a range of outpatient and regional specialist services, including prosthetics, Leeds Fertility and the current Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease. It is not an unrestricted walk-in Emergency Department. Follow the named department on the appointment letter and check its actual location and arrival instructions. A24-hour switchboard does not imply round-the-clock fertility, prosthetic or outpatient appointments; urgent needs should use the appropriate emergency or 111 route.

UTC daily 08:00–23:00; illness provision 08:00–18:00. Own sources disagree on X-ray closing 20:30 versus 22:30; confirm before travel.
Otley is outside central Leeds but within the Leeds district. The operating provider and trust agree the main UTC and illness windows, but their own pages differ on X-ray closing and age exclusions: the provider mentions babies under six months, while the older trust page says under two and also excludes head injuries in over 65s. These discrepancies are not resolved by guessing. Ask 111 or the centre about the patient’s age, injury, capacity and required test before travelling; emergency care is separate.
Chapel Allerton Hospital, Chapeltown Road, Leeds LS7 4SA
0113 2623404 – site switchboard
Switchboard 24 hours; clinics by appointment. General inpatient visiting 14:00–20:00, subject to ward-specific arrangements.
The public hospital provides inpatient and outpatient services and is a specialist centre for musculoskeletal care and research. It is distinct from nearby community venues and is not presented as a 24-hour walk-in minor-injury centre. Check the actual service and referral requirements with the department before attending. The site’s switchboard number and opening label are published directly by the trust; they do not determine every clinic’s hours or replace a confirmed appointment.

Contact the current NHS-led partnership about sexual-health services and the correct clinic. The service was redesigned in July 2024 and is no longer based at the old Merrion Centre clinic, despite older directories retaining that address and telephone. Its service finder now lists multiple community, GP and pharmacy locations. This is deliberately the telephone/booking route, not an invented single physical clinic. The general feedback form is not an appointment booking form.

NHS 111 mental-health support 24 hours daily; BRIGHT text support 24/7. Other named local services have separate windows.
The trust directs the public to 111’s mental-health option for urgent assessment and onward support in Leeds. Its specialist SPA referral number is for professionals and should not replace this public route. BRIGHT offers a West Yorkshire crisis-text alternative but is not an emergency-dispatch service. If already receiving care, use the contact in the care plan when appropriate. The trust headquarters is not advertised here as a crisis walk-in reception.

The current NHS page distinguishes the daytime Leeds children’s crisis line from overnight Night Owls. Children, young people, parents and concerned adults can call whether or not the child is already known to the service. Telephone advice does not equal self-referral into a crisis-treatment team. The current own NHS text number is 07984376950, not a number copied from an older leaflet. Use 999 or emergency care for immediate danger or serious injury.

Advisors assess the next appropriate route; this is not a diagnosis or a guaranteed appointment. Telephone interpreting can be requested by stating the required language. The online route has an age threshold and England scope; do not substitute it for emergency care or assume identical systems throughout the UK.

Telephone 24 hours daily. Webchat pilot may be unavailable; UK written-email listening service has closed.
Free telephone listening is available day or night without needing mobile credit. Volunteers provide a non-judgemental space to talk, not medical treatment, diagnosis or an emergency-dispatch service. The current contact page explicitly says its UK email service has closed and that webchat remains a limited pilot, so old email contact advice is not repeated. Face-to-face branch visits have separate local availability and are not implied by the telephone service.

Its own current Leeds telephone replaces older third-party local numbers. This entry is a remote advice route: the registered Oxford House address is not assumed to be an unrestricted reception.

An online service being available overnight does not make the telephone staffed 24 hours.

This is the online advice collection, not a guaranteed live helpline response or a submitted early-conciliation request.

The public regulator’s topic and industry guides explain workplace health and safety, risk assessment and reporting responsibilities. Match the guidance to the actual work, equipment and enforcing authority; a generic checklist does not prove legal compliance or remove an employer’s duties. Northern Ireland has a separate regulator. No inspection, accident report, licence application or declaration was made; seek competent advice for the real business’s risks.

The regulator offers practical data-protection guidance for small organisations, sole traders and community groups. Check what personal information the activity handles, security, transparency and whether a data-protection fee applies; charity status or business size alone does not settle every obligation. Reading a checklist does not certify compliance or establish an exemption. No customer data, registration, fee payment or complaint was submitted during this review.
Merrion House, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 8LX
0113 2224444 – general council contact
Hub Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri 09:00–17:00; Tue 10:00–17:00. General phone Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri 09:00–17:00; Wed 10:00–17:00. Individual services separately.
The main council hub assists with local services, forms and evidence, digital access and signposting. Its building and jobshop timetable differs from the general telephone line’s Wednesday late start. Housing Options and the Register Office also use Merrion House but publish their own addresses, appointment arrangements and shorter windows. Ask about the specific task and documents before travelling; the general hub is not a UKVI immigration-decision office or a guarantee of a same-day specialist appointment.
Leeds Register Office, Merrion House, Merrion Way, Leeds LS2 8BB
0113 2224408
Birth appointments Mon–Fri 08:45–15:55, some Saturday availability. Phone Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri 09:00–17:00; Wed 10:00–17:00. Appointment required.
The council explains booking, who attends and evidence for a birth registration. The appointment window is not an unrestricted drop-in and is separate from telephone opening. Its current page introduces revised ID-document requirements for appointments on or after 9 November 2026, so use the list applicable to the actual date. Registration and optional certificate purchases are distinct. Babies born outside Leeds and priority stillbirth/infant-death arrangements follow different instructions; no booking or personal information was submitted.

The official UKVI guide explains viewing an eVisa and generating a share code for an appropriate status check. The current page says a share code lasts 90 days and explains the information shown to the recipient. Use the code type and route required for the actual purpose; a code does not create new immigration permission. Keep credentials secure and share only through the relevant official process. No account was accessed and no passport, birth date or code was requested.

Read the official conditions for someone living in the UK with the right to work who is working, seeking work or has an offer. A National Insurance number is not itself permission to work. An existing number normally remains for life even when personal details change, so do not automatically apply again after moving to Leeds. Benefits and student-finance routes may have separate instructions. No identity upload, application or claim was started.

This government guide is specifically for renting in England, which includes Leeds. It explicitly says the same right-to-rent check is not required in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The evidence route depends on nationality and immigration status; not everyone uses the same share-code method. Check the current official instructions rather than giving a landlord account passwords. This guide does not decide an individual’s status, entitlement to housing or tenancy rights.

Use the official guide and Immigration Advice Authority finder to check an adviser’s registration, permitted level and whether charges apply. Approved professional bodies can provide another regulated route. An adviser can explain or represent but does not make the Home Office’s immigration decision, and a charity listing alone is not proof of authority for every case. Check current scope before disclosing documents or paying. No appointment, documents or fee were submitted.

Read the current scheme guidance for the relevant nationality, residence history and family relationship. The ordinary deadline for many people was 30 June 2021, while joining-family, pre-settled-to-settled and permitted late-application situations differ. Moving to Leeds now does not by itself establish eligibility. Obtain regulated advice for an uncertain or late case rather than treating the existence of an online form as permission to apply or remain. No status or individual deadline was assessed.

The Home Office organisation page links official visa, permission, processing-time and eVisa guidance. Use the route for the actual purpose and circumstances instead of commercial look-alike sites. Published processing times are not a guarantee of an individual decision date, and a visa application may involve conditions, evidence and charges. This page is an online service directory, not a local Leeds immigration counter or a submitted application.

The official eVisa guide explains keeping identity, contact and travel-document information current in the UKVI account. Correct passport linkage can matter when travelling, but an update is not a new visa grant or extension. Read restrictions and error-reporting routes for the actual change, particularly while an application is pending. Different government accounts are not automatically synchronised. No account login, passport data or change request was made during this review.

The official account can show tax codes and records and provide routes for relevant details, benefits and tax services. Identity verification and the available functions depend on the account and task. A displayed estimate is not necessarily a final tax decision, and the service is not an immigration-status or council-residence register. Keep credentials and security codes private. No login, refund claim, tax return or financial information was accessed.

The official service explains checking contributions and credits, qualifying years and possible gaps. The current guide’s coverage ends before the current tax year, so recent earnings may not yet appear. A gap does not automatically mean voluntary contributions are necessary or beneficial; individual pension and contribution advice may be needed. No record was accessed, forecast calculated or payment initiated. This is separate from applying for a National Insurance number.

The government guide explains updating an address for relevant personal HMRC services after moving. Business tax has a separate route, and changing HMRC details does not automatically update the council, electoral register, UKVI or every benefit provider. Follow the account’s identity-verification instructions and the timing on the own page. This is guidance, not proof that an address has been changed or accepted; no account or personal details were used.

The official service explains registering and updating a name, address or nationality, including options concerning the open register and anonymous registration. Eligibility depends on age, nationality, residence and the type of election; being a Leeds resident or holding an eVisa does not alone guarantee voting rights. Check existing registration with the electoral office where appropriate. Registration is distinct from voter identification or applying for a postal vote; no application was submitted.

Read how One Login works, identity checks and which government services currently use it. The own guide explicitly says it does not yet work for every government account, including Universal Credit, so do not assume it replaces UKVI, HMRC or all other sign-in arrangements. Create or access accounts only through the relevant official service and never give security codes to an unsolicited caller. No login, identity verification or account change was attempted.
New learners first attend St Aidan’s Church, Roundhay Road, Leeds LS8 5QD; some classes at nearby Trinity United Church
07971 952969
Classes Tue/Thu 10:00–12:00, Leeds school terms only; new learners register at 10:00 on either day.
Free classes for adults 18-plus from pre-entry to higher levels. New learners register and take a short assessment before a suitable place is allocated; a full class may involve waiting. The own FAQ says babies and children cannot attend classes, but a limited crèche can be requested for children over one and below school age. Go first to St Aidan’s even if the eventual class is nearby. Classes do not run through school holidays, and enrolment is not a guaranteed exam or immigration-language qualification.
One Community Centre, Cromwell Street, Lincoln Green, Leeds LS9 7SG
0113 2449600
Sep–Dec 2026 term-time ESOL: Mon 10:30–12:00 new speakers; Tue 12:00–13:30 beginners; Wed 12:00–13:30 pre-intermediate and 13:45–15:15 STAR conversation; Fri 10:00–11:30 intermediate. Bilingual advocacy weekdays 10:00–14:00.
The community-led charity offers free English classes, conversation and other integration support. The current September–December 2026 timetable was actually read as an image, not inferred from an old PDF. Ask which level and registration route is suitable; classes are term-time and a place is not automatic. Life in the UK tutoring is separately listed Wednesday 11:30–13:30, not a guaranteed test outcome. Afternoon/evening community room-booking periods are not ordinary ESOL or advice opening.
Christ Church, Armley Ridge Road, Leeds LS12 3LE; postal correspondence 81 Blue Hill Lane, Leeds LS12 4NT

The refugee and asylum-seeker community project provides practical support, meals, food parcels, digital help and opportunities to meet people. Own current notices say English resumed 16 September 2026 and the Wednesday group 9 September. Classes are free and do not require a referral, but users must register with Meeting Point; ask about the session before attending. The church venue differs from its postal address, and the site designer’s mobile is not the service contact. Older explanatory immigration summaries are not used as current legal rules.
LASSN office,14–16 Duncan Street, Leeds LS1 6DL; appointment only, teaching arranged individually in appropriate settings
0113 3731759
Published contact Mon–Fri 09:30–17:30. Office not always staffed: do not visit without an appointment. Tuition times arranged with the programme.
The charity matches refugees and people seeking asylum with trained volunteer English tutors where caring duties, health, trauma, disability or unstable housing prevent mainstream ESOL attendance. The current August 2026 programme describes flexible support, often over months rather than an immediate course place. Referral and matching depend on suitability and capacity. Its September 2026 Find Us page gives Duncan Street and expressly prohibits unarranged office visits; an old address or generic opening window is not a drop-in promise.

Wednesday drop-in from 09:45; own homepage recommends arriving for 09:00 because queues and capacity are limited. Office appointments separately.
PAFRAS supports asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers living in Leeds with casework, food parcels, toiletries and mental-health support. Its own page sets exclusions, including people already holding refugee status and most hotel residents unless support is ending or a claim refused. The drop-in is not an appointment service and cannot see everyone. Distinguish the St Aidan’s venue from the UNITY office; the Young Migrants Matter 16–24 project has a separate referral route. No asylum case was assessed.

The charity supports refugees and vulnerable migrants with education, requalification, work and integration. Its own rendered homepage and contact location were read in the browser because direct 200 responses contain only a JavaScript shell. A20 October 2026 partner notice says the Conversation Café pauses after 22 October until 5 November and digital-skills classes are provisionally due in the week of 9 November. Ask about current ESOL intake, fees and appointment arrangements; no recurring office timetable was found.

Not available
The registered local charity describes advocacy and support for migrants facing destitution, exclusion and difficulties accessing services. Its rendered footer publishes this number and Leeds address, while the header’s visible label links to RETAS’s different number; manually verify the intended contact instead of trusting that link. Ask about appointments, the actual advice scope and any regulated immigration support. No recurring Leeds timetable was published, and other towns’ drop-in hours are not transferred to Leeds.
Own Enfield Centre page lists Enfield Terrace, Leeds LS7 1RG but announces a move to Mabgate; course lists both centres: confirm actual class location before travel
Enfield0113 2846315; college0113 3861997,option1
Own Enfield building Mon–Thu 08:30–21:00; Fri 08:30–16:00, location subject to move confirmation. Course advertises 12:30–15:00,15:30–18:00 or 18:30–21:00; morning classes full until at least September 2027.
The adult programme covers English for work, study and daily life after interview and assessment. Its current course page says morning provision is full until at leastSeptember 2027 and advertises afternoon/evening groups; that is not a reserved place. Fees and funding depend on eligibility. The campus page still gives Enfield Terrace while announcing a spring 2026 move to Mabgate, so the current venue must be confirmed with the centre rather than assuming either address. The short /esol link instead leads to 16–18 provision and is not selected.

The local partnership publishes dated news, training, ESOL and service updates for people and organisations supporting refugees and migrants. Check each post’s actual date, venue, intended audience and any later provider notice; the presence of an announcement is not proof that places remain. It is a news and resource index, not a single drop-in centre, immigration authority or appointment service. Current provider pages should settle ordinary contacts wherever available.
Telephone/remote service; no walk-in office associated with this listing
0808 8010503
Government lists routine advice Mon–Fri 08:00–20:00 and emergency cover 24 hours. Own current contact page lists accommodation/support issue channels 24/7; confirm the appropriate enquiry type.
The charity’s asylum guide covers the process, support, documents and finding legal representation, with translated material and interpreting. It does not make asylum decisions or itself provide legal representation. Its own current contact page and the government distinguish service types and windows differently, so 24-hour issue reporting must not be assumed to mean every advice team is available overnight. The complaints inbox has a separate weekday window. No case, issue report or application was submitted.

The independent charity’s guide explains stages of asylum and immigration processes and practical ways to prepare, gather evidence and find qualified help. Check dates and the actual procedure because rules and deadlines change. A general toolkit is not legal representation, a decision on status or an assurance that a particular application will succeed. Do not use a community volunteer’s general guidance as a substitute for regulated advice on a difficult or urgent case.

The Migrant English Support Hub directory helps learners search current ESOL providers and classes by location. Check each listing’s date, actual venue, level, age range, availability and whether it is free, funded subject to eligibility or paid. Provider entries can retain old locations, so confirm with the own service before travelling. A result is not enrolment or a reserved place; no enquiry form, location permission or learner details were submitted.
