JaninePlaces for People is an organisation that manages existing houses and builds new ones; they also invest in communities and actively want to support projects, initiatives and organisations in a local area. There’s a new Community Connector for Harehills, and they sent this announcement on to us.
Places for People – New Community Connector
Georgie has just started working for the housing provider, Places for People (PfP), in a newly developed role as a community connector. She will initially be working in the Harehills area; however, her area remit is likely to expand in the future.
As community connector she will support, partner and invest in projects and initiatives in the area that deliver on Wellbeing, Digital and Financial Inclusion, and Jobs and Training Opportunities.
Georgie/Places for People will be able to issue small grants and collaborate on project ideas with other charities and community organisations and initiatives.
Please get in touch if you would like to share the work you do and think PFP could get involved.

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.
