Project Offer

Being You Leeds will run groups and activities 7 days a week, including on evenings and weekends in local venues across Leeds. These groups will be fun, welcoming sessions based around activities group members are interested in.

Our current group activities list includes walking, cycling, arts, knitting, gym, ESOL learning and much more. We can also support people to set up their own sessions based on their interests.

All of these groups will aim to support people to stay well, learn new things, have fun, and connect with others in their communities.
