Flourishing Families was created to do just that – to see families living in deprivation flourish. There are 190,000 families in Leeds living in deprived areas, and we do what we do because all the families that come through our doors matter. We couldn’t have got this far without the work of our staff team, our dedicated volunteers and our generous donors, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped us make a difference. In 2021 we got to know Abi who came along to one of our Family cookery Clubs. Here is her story.
Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
We were thrilled and honoured to receive this prestigious award as part of HM The King’s Birthday Honours in November last year.
