Seasonal Wishes from all at Caring Together

by

Our offices will be closed over the festive season from mid day Christmas Eve until Tuesday 4th January 2022, however we will still be checking in on some members on Christmas Day and periodically throughout the week. I have also added below some useful contacts where needed.

But before we sign off to take some time to recharge for ourselves we have brought together a short video of just some of the things we have been up to in the last month together. It has been a mixture of some truly sad times peppered with some fun times along the way. It does not cover everything but we hope you enjoy it and we look forward to being back again on Tuesday 4th January 2022.

Our thoughts are with you all at this time. And we thank you all for your kindness and support throughout the Year in Caring Together. Wishing you all a peaceful and safe holidays.  

Press play and turn the volume on if you wish!

Also, please see below a copy of our useful contacts for over the holidays from our recent newsletter.

Christmas Lunch at Rainbow Junktion

by
Rainbow Junk-tion

Rainbow Junktion – All Hallows Church, 24 Regent Terrace, Leeds, LS6 1NP. Christmas Lunch on a pay-as-you-feel basis:

“We are excited to (hopefully) be able to go ahead with our pay-as-you-feel Christmas lunch inside this year but it will be slightly different from previous years in order to keep everyone as safe as we can. We are asking people to book in advance using this short google form. We are asking people to choose a time slot and to stick to it so we don’t have too many people in the church at the same time. We are also asking that all attendees take a lateral flow test in the 24 hours before the event and to not come inside if they have any reason to believe they have covid.”

Here is the form: https://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSc4XCpzdCbz7I…/viewform

If you are unable to complete the form for any reason you can go to Rainbow Junktion during the opening times which are: Monday, Thursday and Friday 11.30am – 3.00pm and book there.

🎁 Christmas Day Meal (25-Dec-2021)

Caring Together Festive get together in partnership with Leeds University Music Impact in the Community Choir

by

What a joyous afternoon. And even though it was a bit chilly, thankfully the rain held off for us. To keep us warm we had blankets, hot chocolate, soup and some hot drinks. We were also treated to some homemade mince pies, vegan cake & mince pies and some chocolates. The beautiful sounds from the choir warmed us further. Thank you to LUUMIC Choir, our members, volunteers, the team at Caring Together, our funders, the Community, Cllr Al Garthwaite and the Lord Mayor who braved the elements to be with us. And to those who could not make it I have put some pictures up for you with a video to follow.

Last week we were back and began our festive sessions, which will run for 3 weeks on Wednesday’s at 11am. We shared our finished cushions and blankets from the last skills share. Thank you to everyone who shared their skills, they look amazing. We will be distributing them out to members in the coming months. Last week we were putting up our handcrafted decorations on our tree (the tree was kindly donated by Lindsey) for our 1st Christmas in our new premises. Together we have also been making some window decorations. We will put them up this week so keep an eye out for them.


This Wednesday, 8th December at 11am we are bringing together our own mini festive wreaths and sharing some lunch together afterwards.
