Down at the St Luke’s CARE Reuse Shop & Furniture/Electrical Warehouse we’re well into the swing of things with a brand new bright side, Saturday openings and our First Steps project.

Each week we run ESOL Classes, Retail & Warehouse Training courses, work experience and supported volunteering all with the view to upskill our local community and create a supportive network. We have a fantastic team of volunteers who are just as important as the staff team who work at the shop and it’s such a brilliant diverse community.

The Shine Project team have been equally busy with four after school girls groups each week around the community, mentoring girls in all the local high schools, running groups and courses, partnership work with Leeds GATE as well as our complex needs workers supporting some of the girls in our community who need the most support. We have enjoyed getting involved with International Women’s Day Events at Getaway Girls and LS14 trust joining with other young women across the city.
