The weather was awful. But more than 50 people turned up to the Late Summer Open Afternoon at the Leeds City Mission Compassion Centre in Mistress Lane, Armley.
The deluge of rain on Saturday did not deter dozens of residents, supporters and friends attending this social and fund raising event.
They retreated into the shelter of the Compassion Centre to enjoy drinks, food and ice creams. They were also treated to a short talk about the various compassion projects of the City Mission amongst needy people in West Leeds.
Despite the lack of sunshine visitors were able to chat and as well as browse the displays of goods on sale inside the Centre.
Leeds City Mission Compassion Centre Manager Sinclair Martin thanked everyone for their attendance and support. He said: “Despite the inclement weather this was a successful Open Afternoon and Social Event. A good time was enjoyed by everyone. £170 was raised which will help to finance our ongong work and projects of Leeds City Mission.”
Leeds City Mission is a multi-church Christian agency which has worked with marginalised people since 1837 and seeks to meet the physical, social and spiritual needs of Leeds residents.
