As you may already know, Zest will be closing its doors at the end of this month.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to ensure our funded projects can continue and that our staff are supported to move into new organisations. We can now confirm that from 1 January, the following colleagues will be transferring to Orion partner organisations:

• Dawn Johnson will be joining Space2 Leeds, continuing her role as Volunteer Coordinator on the Gipton Shared Futures Project.

• Syretta Liburd and Lloyd Herah will be joining Feel Good Factor, continuing their work as Community Development Workers under the Better Together banner.

These changes will help ensure continuity for communities in East Leeds, and mean our team can keep delivering the support and services you’re familiar with.

If you have any questions about the above, please get in touch at [email protected]
