We are

The heart of Inner South Leeds.

We are a charity working with communities through a wide variety of community and youth projects, an innovative charity shop and furniture warehouse. We care about seeing this brilliant community and the people who live here thrive and reach their potential.

When we receive your items we sell them in our charity shop or online and it enables us to mentor a young woman in crisis, support a class of ESOL students, run a course about youth violence in a school or provide valuable work experience and support to long term unemployed.

Our Youth Projects

Our youth projects work with 11-22 year olds in the communities of inner South Leeds. Through our youth projects RISE and Shine we run a wide variety of work from crisis support, mentoring, schools work, sports, youth clubs, violence reduction work, detached outreach and a young mums group.

Community Projects

Our community projects reach widely across our community. We run a range of projects from an asset based community development project (ABCD), a health inequalities project (Better Together) and work to address the cost of living and climate crisis (Save Money, Save the Planet).

First Steps Project

Our First Steps Project is an innovative retail training and volunteering course based at our thriving charity shop/furniture warehouse. Through the First Steps we provide accredited retail training, supported volunteering, work experience and ESOL classes.
