We write with heavy hearts to let our members and friends know about the passing of our dear friend and the best nurse ever, Liz Keat.

We met Liz when she interviewed for the first ever Outreach Nursing position in Leeds. This was a role we had campaigned for and our members had co-produced. Liz immediately won our trust and then the trust of Leeds Travelling communities with her big heart, her kindness, her humour and her sensible approach. She had our backs, always.

We did many important things together and we will never forget the support she offered to the sick and dying in our communities.

Rest In Peace, beautiful Liz. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.❤

🏆 ⭐ We got 2 surprise awards today!! ⭐ 🏆

Leeds GATE fest was an awesome day enjoyed by over 50 members of the community!

The day was made even more special by them handing out 2 awards to our staff members to show their gratitude:

🏆 The first award was for our fabulous Tracey Lea Catherine Chambers who absolutely bosses our community kitchen every week, rustling up the most scrumptious meals for all to enjoy & she never fails to impress. Not only did she receive this award today but we also had a hefty donation of £100 in an envelope simply saying ‘what we do here is amazing’

🏆 The second award went to our centre manager Carly Mullaney for being the first link for Leeds GATE at MAC, making them feel very accommodated & constantly working in partnership to ensure their needs for delivery run effectively & efficiently. Also, for allocating them a section of the garden to get funding to make it into a beautiful communal seating/growing area that you can all come, enjoy & help maintain.

We’re so grateful for these awards & also to Leeds GATE for everything you do at the centre..an absolute credit..THANK YOU 🤩

*BACK GATES LOCKED AT LEEDS BUILDING - NO ACCESS TO TAP OUT OF OFFICE HOURS*

There is currently no access to our garden and outside water tap at the back of the building outside of our office opening hours, as we have had to keep our back gates locked. This means unfortunately there is no access to water after we close around 4.30pm.

We will keep you updated

To celebrate Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month, we have now added Caths amazing photos to our website as a gallery🎉Originally they formed our large-scale exhibition, Dreams and Songs to Sing at Bradford Museums and Galleries Cartwright Hall in 2024 designed by our Gypsy and Traveller members across Bradford, alongside photos, objects and film.

Over a few months, the exhibition welcomed almost 20,000 visitors - so we wanted to make them available to all online. This post is just a tiny selection, go to our website to see the full exhibition display.

Check it out in our new galleries now on our website and linked in our bio - https://leedsgate.co.uk/galleries/dreams-and-songs-to-sing-photography-exhibition-online

📣Lets start the long journey of Gypsies and Travellers becoming properly represented in our curriculums and education systems. Knowledge and inclusion over division and fear. 📣Did you know we have an education pack?

Originally developed for schools KS1 & 2, the pack is also a brilliant resource for home education, and for adults to increase your knowledge and understanding about Gypsy and Traveller communities in the past and present day.

It brings together Leeds GATE resources and knowledge, as well as those created by other brilliant organisations, advocates and educators in our sector. It's useful during June but to continue learning any time of year.

TEACHERS! EDUCATORS! Do you work in a school or other education setting or know someone who does? Download this pack or share the link with someone. Do you know other places we can send it that may be interested in helping us to disseminate it further? Let us know.

You can find it on our on our website here free for download, as well as lots of other lovely things - https://leedsgate.co.uk/projects-and-research/gypsy-roma-traveller-history-month/
