Janine GriffithsIf you’re looking for a way to brighten up your walls for the new year, Kippax Parish Council has just the thing – the 2026 Kippax Calendar, now on sale for just £3.50.
This year’s calendar is extra special. It’s been created in partnership with younger residents of Kippax, who have spent months sketching and drawing their favourite parts of the village. Inside you’ll find 12 hand-drawn illustrations, capturing Kippax’s buildings, parks and landmarks “through the eyes of our younger residents.”
Not only does it showcase local talent, but the calendar also makes a lovely keepsake or Christmas gift – and every purchase supports community projects run by the Parish Council.
Calendars are available now at local outlets (details on the Parish Council website and posters around the village). Don’t miss out – they’re already proving popular!
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.
