Janine GriffithsCommunity groups and organisations in Chapeltown are being urged to step forward as part of a Leeds-wide programme aimed at creating long-term, positive change in local neighbourhoods.
The Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) in Leeds programme is currently seeking groups with the skills and experience to help develop and deliver an ABCD approach in selected areas of the city.
The programme is focused on supporting community-led action, with an emphasis on building on local strengths to inspire lasting improvements.
Organisations across Leeds that believe they can contribute are being encouraged to apply, but time is limited. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 22 April at 12pm.
The initiative is open to groups and organisations already working within or connected to the selected neighbourhoods, with a focus on those able to support long-term community development.
Alongside Chapeltown, the programme also extends to Little London and Hyde Park.
More information and application details are available via the ABCD in Leeds programme website.
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.
