Talking Statues in Leeds City Centre
Ever wondered what the statues would say if they could talk? Well this weekend 10 of the statues in Leeds City Centre can do just that. This includes The Black Prince in City Square and one of the Town Hall Lions. You’ll need a smartphone swipe a plaque near the statue or enter a code and the statue will call you!

A walk on the wild (ish) side
Lisa, Valerie and some of Caring Together’s members went on a Tree ID walk this week organised by Oblong and Leeds Coppice Workers.
It was a really enjoyable end to the afternoon to stroll in the sunshine and to actually take a look at the trees and nature that are on our doorstep and that we often just don’t notice.
Many thanks to Dave from Leeds Coppice Workers for an interesting an informative walk. The next plan is to maybe have a similar walk looking at edible plants.
We will let you know when we have more information about this
