Part of our signature project My LEEDS 2023, our 33 Neighbourhood Hosts are planning celebration events in each ward of the city and are looking for people in their communities to apply for a small grant to show off their talents or create activities as part of it. Taking place in parks, village halls, high streets and shopping centres, the events will shine a light on the creativity found on our doorsteps.  

Applications are open to everyone who has something creative or cultural to share, whether it is something they do in their spare time or professionally, this could be everything from art, music, performance, sport, football, cookery to faith. Individuals, charities, community and arts groups and other not-for-profit groups are eligible to apply. Applications are open until 9am on Monday 6 March and it’s a very simple application process. 

I’m sure there are lots of people in your community and networks who have something fantastic to share with their ward! If you know anyone that might be interested in applying, please could you share and direct them to our webpage for more information?
