Janine GriffithsAn employability and job fair is coming to East Leeds offering local residents the chance to connect with courses, volunteering roles and job opportunities in one place.
The event, hosted by Junior Sports Hub as part of the Inspiring Futures programme, will take place on Thursday 12 February 2026 at The Point in LS8 5JH. It is scheduled to run from 10am to 1pm.
Organisers say the fair is designed to bring together different local organisations under one roof, giving people the chance to explore programmes, speak directly with providers and find out what support is available.
Residents are invited to drop in at any time during the session.
Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
