Want to know more about... community hubs

Wednesday 23 April, midday to 1pm

Leeds City Council has 26 community hubs and libraries across the city. They offer a number of different services designed to address community needs and reduce health and social inequalities, with a particular focus on supporting those affected by poverty.

As hubs operate through a combination of core services and strategic partnerships, they are able to deliver a wide range of support and initiatives through a single point of contact, making it easier for people in Leeds to access the support they need locally.

Join this free online WTKMA session to find out what support people can access locally through Leeds' community hubs and libraries, and much more.

The session will cover:

  • the community hubs and libraries model
  • core services offered at the hubs
  • partnerships and other support available at hubs
  • key initiatives including Project Development work
  • future plans

This session will be delivered by Nick Hart (Head of Customer Contact) and Adele Wilson (Community Hub Manager for the East North East cluster) from Communities, Housing and Environments.
