NBE Guest International Lecture
On 14 May, Dr Paul Hodge from The University of Newcastle (Australia) gave an International Guest lecture in the Peak Lecture Theatre.

ASSIST! Sheffield were also in attendance, and it was inspiring to hear how they work to support people who have been unsuccessful in their applications for asylum and as a result have been made destitute.
