Last week we celebrated 3 whole years of Being Leeds! That's another year of free groups and activities across Leeds responding to community need, even more third sector professionals and volunteers receiving free su***de prevention and mental health training and another year of tackling stigma across all aspects of our service!

There was singing, dancing and crafting alongside a delicious lunch and cake!

Check out our video on how the celebration went, and if you missed out this time, see you next year! 😊
