Better Leeds Communities

Better Leeds Communities We strive to improve employability, provide sustained support to families and reduce child poverty in our city’s communities.

We are Better Leeds Communities (BLC) and we aim to make Leeds a better place to live for everyone in the city's communities. We do this by delivering a range of services across the city from advice, activities, courses, volunteering and venue hire. Our mission is to create opportunities that enable people in Leeds to achieve their potential by raising aspirations, removing barriers and developing abilities that lead to a better life.

For this year's Community Iftar, we were joined by members of Leeds New Muslims who beautifully recited the call to prayer, creating a meaningful moment for everyone present. Equilibria UK also delivered a fantastic workshop for the children, giving families a chance to engage, learn, and enjoy the evening together. It was wonderful to see the community come together, with many people bringing and sharing dishes. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everyone had a fantastic time connecting over food and conversation.
Thank you for all the voluntary donation, especially to Cake Box for the wonderful tray of cakes, thank you to Abu Bakr For samosas, water and dates, thank you Rajas for pizzas and Daily Shwarma for the naans.

Hi everyone, we’ve decided to delay the start of our Create & Connect sessions as Ramadan approaches and many people in our community will be observing this time.
Because Create & Connect is all about wellbeing, we want everyone who comes along to be feeling their best and able to fully enjoy the sessions. It’s also really important to us that this group is accessible and welcoming for our whole, diverse community.
We’ll share new start dates very soon. Thanks so much for your understanding 💛
