We have been very busy over the last few weeks and today in order to bring together our latest newsletter. There is a special invite for our members this time. We look forward to receiving your RSVP’s!
Thank you to the team who work hard behind the scenes, our volunteers today and those who will be delivering some of your newsletters this week.
Some of us ventured into town again this week, not for shopping; it was to catch a film, oh and some cake later. We saw ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood’. It was not for everyone yet for those who did like it, there were a few tears, and smiles. Everyone did enjoy sharing some time together though and all left making plans for the next film.
“I felt it proved an excellent choice, presenting a touching morality tale of how deep personal issues of resentment, anger, and the death of one’s closest relations can be approached through compassion and generosity of spirit, the story being set within the intriguingly nostalgic framework of an American children’s TV programme” Alistair

Caring Together were delighted to be invited to the Inner North West Community Committee Community Heroes award ceremony last Friday at St Chads Hall in Headingley. A large number of local community and activists groups were present representing the areas of Little London, Woodhouse, Hyde Park, Headingley and Weetwood. The awards were presented by the Lord Mayor, Cllr Eileen Taylor.
As well as being made aware of the massive contributions that local groups make to the betterment of life in our city, we were also treated to a wonderful performance by a local Bollywood Dancing School followed by a feast of Asian food.
Many thanks to the local councillors for organising this event and for recognising the work that we do and deeming it worthy of celebration.
