“There was no food in the house”. That’s what Amber told us when she joined our Cookery Club. For her, it wasn’t just a session — it was a lifeline. She learned to cook simple, affordable meals. She found friends. She felt seen. For the first time in months, she and her children sat around the table and ate together.
In Leeds, 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 3 children experience the devastating impacts of living in deprivation. These children will die up to 12 years younger than their more affluent counterparts. But this does not have to be their stories.
Our supporters and funders partner with us to change lives and transform futures. Together we make long-lasting change to diets, health, literacy, wellbeing, social engagement, confidence, school readiness and, most importantly of all, life outcomes. Every year, well over 1,000 children, parents and carers receive direct support from us and because our core costs are covered by a handful of committed trusts, 100% of your funding goes straight to frontline work.
We’d like to invite you to partner with us to transform more lives forever.
