JohnHelp finding new jobs and training will be on offer at a drop-in event for people living in east Leeds.
As previously reported by ESS, advisers from the NHS, Leeds City College, Leeds University and the council will be at the event from 5pm-6pm.
People from the Burmantofts and Richmond Hill, Gipton and Harehills and Killingbeck and Seacroft wards are welcome at the centre on Long Close Lane.
Coun Luke Farley, who chairs the council’s Inner East Community Committee, said: “We know that it can be difficult for people to find jobs or perhaps have the confidence to access the training available to help them develop the skills they may need to get into new job roles.
“This is especially true in our inner-city wards and the areas my colleagues and I represent.”
The drop-in event will be followed by a meeting of the committee from 6pm.
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.
