We’ve got something a bit different happening at Yum next week 😊 If you’re local, please do share this with anyone who might find it useful. Everyone’s welcome!

We’ve got a new support session coming to Yum next Tuesday 💚

We’re working with FareShare Yorkshire to run a relaxed session covering money, budgeting, health and wellbeing, with lots of useful tips and activities along the way.

This isn’t going to be a formal workshop, it’s a chance to have a chat, pick up some useful information, meet other people and hopefully take something away that will actually help.

There’ll also be one-to-one support available afterwards if there’s anything you want to talk through privately.

And of course, there’ll be snacks and refreshments too! ☕🍪

📅 Tuesday 29th September
⏰ 1pm-2:30pm
📍 Yum Pantry, Unit 12 Gelder Road, LS12 3UF

Spaces are limited, so if you fancy coming along, speak to one of the Yum team to sign up.

Come along, have a cuppa and a chat, and see if there’s something in the session that could be useful for you. 💚

Today’s job… sorting through 63 crates of food salvaged from Leeds Fest! 😅♻️

A LOT of Pot Noodles, crisps and breakfast bars later, we’re finally got there!

A HUGE thank you to and her crew of salvagers who slogged through the post-festival trenches to make this happen 🙌❤️ Loads of perfectly good food saved from going to waste and ready to be put to good use!

We’re launching Pay It Forward at Yum Pantry ❤️

Sometimes something unexpected happens and even finding £6 for a pantry shop can be difficult. That’s where Pay It Forward can step in and cover a one-off Yum shop for someone in our community.

There are three ways you can help keep Pay It Forward going:

❤️ Donate any points you don’t use from your own Yum shop
❤️ Pop into Yum and make a cash donation
❤️ Donate £1, £2, £4 or a full £6 shop online

You can make a one-off online donation or set up a monthly donation if you’d like to give regularly.

Donate here:
https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/donation-form/pay-it-forward-16

£6 = one Yum Pantry shop ❤️

Thank you for supporting Yum and helping us look out for one another.

Yum Pantry is run by Armley Action Team, bringing people together and helping make Armley a stronger, more supportive community.

A little update for all our YUM members 💚

From 1st August, the cost of a pantry shop will be £6. We’ve kept our price the same since opening in 2023, so this isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly. Please help us spread the word to anyone who shops with us.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support 😊
