Leeds Community Payback Projects
St George's Crypt Project
This project aims to develop work and life skills of ex homeless people to help them gain employment. When it is ready, the centre will include a commercial kitchen, food distribution department and a learning environment. We have been involved in this project from the outset, cleaning (as shown in photo) and decorating the premises.
East Leeds Project
We have won a Howard League Award for this project which is a partnership between West Yorkshire Probation, Leeds City Council and the Police. Offenders have taken part in locally nominated projects such as land clearance, litter picking, planting and leafleting.
Help the Aged
This ongoing project runs from the Help the Aged warehouse off Kirkstall Road and includes steaming, cleaning clothes and sorting of donated stock ready to be distributed to the shops.
Kirkstall allotments
In partnership with Leeds College of Building and Groundwork Trust, we are offering offenders the opportunity to gain NVQ level 1 modules in horticulture while they carry out their Community Payback hours at the allotment.
St Vincent’s Charity
This project provides work for around six workers per day five days a week. The work is in the charity’s furniture store and includes general warehouse duties.
