About The Project
Aasra, meaning “shelter,” is an empowering initiative delivered by ABA Leeds to support unpaid carers from diverse communities in Leeds. We are proud to be one of the trusted partners working in collaboration with Live Well Leeds. Our dedicated team of multilingual diverse staff will work across Leeds to identify, engage, inform, advise, and support unpaid, diverse carers to access available services.
