Hi all,
This sounds like a wonderful project - full respect and admiration to everyone involved.
Is there anywhere / any publication which explains the project detail?
Best wishes,
Mike Chick

Subject: Leeds Compassionate City Award - St. Vincent's
Hi Everyone,
Last Night (7th December) the St. Vincent’s Community Learning and Development programme was honoured to be the Winners of the Jo Cox Award at the Leeds Compassionate City Award Celebration.
St. Vincent’s run a community learning and development programme that brings people together to positively change their lives and their communities. Over 35 volunteers weekly give their time to teach over 18 classes in ESOL and IT, help people into work by providing practical support and giving wider support and advice (including immigration advice) to migrants in need.
Leeds City Council organised the event - ‘Celebrating the positive work that individuals, community groups and organisations do every day to make their local communities and our City a great place to live, work and visit.’
Those of us collecting the award on behalf of the programme felt very honoured and enjoyed an inspirational evening. To have Kim Leadbeater, Gordon and Jean Leadbeater (Jo Cox’ sister and parents) there to present the award to St. Vincent’s was an overwhelmingly meaningful experience.
Thank you to all of you who have supported the programme here in Leeds – through research, volunteering, sharing strategies, sharing resources or advice. Well done to everyone in Leeds and beyond who is working hard in local communities to inspire and transform lives!
Best wishes,
Julie
