Stronger Communities Middlesbrough

We're here to help build strong and connected communities in Middlesbrough.

We support people in Middlesbrough who are seeking asylum. This includes the specialist training and employment programme (STEP), which helps refugees to find work.

We also support people arriving in Middlesbrough through the government's Afghanistan and Ukraine settlement programmes. We help them to adapt to life in Middlesbrough, and become part of the community.

We know all about lots of organisations and places in Middlesbrough where you can get help. Check out our support pack for more information.

We know that events around the world might be making you feel more upset, scared, or angry than usual. It's important to look after your mental health, so we've put together a mental health support package to help.

You can contact us by emailing scm@middlesbrough.gov.uk if you have any questions.
