A monthly peer support group is supporting parents/expectant East Leeds parents with their mental wellbeing.

In their recent campaign, Aldi advertised PANDAS peer support group with printing on baby wipes to raise support surrounding perinatal mental health.

With products carrying the PANDAS logo, signs and symptoms to look out for, and a QR code to link directly to support, their partnership has become national.

PANDAS works to offer hope, empathy and support to every parent, carer or network affected by perinatal mental illness.
  • One in five parents experience a mental health problem during or after pregnancy.
  • Many suffer in silence, but local families are now being signposted to help via Aldi’s baby products.
  • This means thousands of your readers could discover support they didn’t know existed, right here in their community.

The East Leeds group meets monthly in Garforth and is welcoming new members.

Address: Holiday Inn, Wakefield Rd, Garforth Leeds LS25 1LH

Meets: Last Sunday of every month drop in 7.30pm – 9pm

Group Leader: Stacey

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.
