Community organisations across Leeds are there for people like this every day. They provide safe spaces and a listening ear, and they meet people on their own terms. Because of that, they learn what support people need and how best to help them get it.

They change people’s lives

[Leeds Community Foundation @LeedsCommFound]

Often it’s the ordinary, everyday stuff that makes a difference. Somewhere to go for a cup of tea and a chat. Having someone you can ask when you don’t know how to do something on your phone. Meeting a group of friends for arts and crafts every week.

[Leeds Community Foundation @LeedsCommFound]

All those little touchpoints add up to big changes.

They make people less feel lonely. They give people independence. They help people gain confidence. And they encourage people to open up and share what’s really going on.
