Advice Service
The Yemeni Welfare and Advice Centre was set up in 1990 to meet the advice needs of the Yemeni community and was initially based at the Yemeni Community Association Centre at 68 Burngreave Road with funding from Sheffield City Council.
Since this time the Yemeni Welfare and Advice Centre has built up a long standing reputation for the provision of generalist and specialist advice work to members of the Yemeni Community. The advice centre offers members of the Yemeni and Arabic speaking community a free and confidential advice service which enables them to access crucial mainstream services which would otherwise neglect their needs.
