A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to and attended our very special ABCD in Leeds 10 year celebration event. The stories we heard were both amazing and inspiring. We can't wait to see what the next chapter of ABCD in Leeds will bring! #ABCDinleeds @VolActionLeeds

Gas boiler was serviced today and condemned. No heating until we can get new boilers.

Our members had a lovely time dancing away when Pete Goldup - The Silent Disco DJ came to OPAL the other week! One of our members, David, taught our social work student, Tash, how to dance! A great time had by all and we can't wait for the next silent disco at Christmas!

Fraser Cameron is our local PCSO. He is jumping out of a plane to raise funds for us. He says ‘I have witnessed OPAL provide valuable assistance for the elderly and vulnerable in the locality as well  as providing a community hub.’ Please sponsor Fraser.

“Astounding!”
This was the response from an older lady we showed how to get money out of a cash machine using her bank card.
Next job is to show her how she can make card payments.

An incredible event raising so much money for so many charities. I am in awe of Rob Burrow and his team and I’m so proud to have been part of such a special day.
I’m also proud to have raised over £1300 for OPAL. Thank you everyone ❤️

We had an excellent week celebrating the King's Coronation at OPAL. We had so many members come to our Friday Coronation Lunch Club that we had to set up a large overflow table in our other room! We had over 50 members attend our celebrations on Friday, it was a great day!
