They are organising a ‘summer open afternoon’ social event and sale. There will be tables displaying a variety of second-hand books and DVDs.
There will be also be a hybrid pop up charity shop for the afternoon featuring bric a brac and clothes. All monies raised will go towards the various compassion projects undertaken by the City Mission amongst needy people in West Leeds.
Complimentary free ice creams, plus free teas, coffees and soft drinks will be available throughout the afternoon, which runs 2.30pm to 4pm.
Leeds City Mission community development worker Andy Dalton explained that the City Mission Compassion Centre in Mistress Lane is hosting a range of projects which benefit local people. These include a Food Bank, Welcome Space, Clothing Bank and other initiatives helping people struggling with life.
Refreshments will be served in the Compassion Centre and also on the adjoining grassed area where people can mingle. People can chat and enjoy the sunshine around tables on the grass under the shade of leafy trees as well as browse inside the centre.
Mr Dalton concluded: “The weather forecast for Saturday is good – warm sunshine and no rain. This is a social event where people can linger, chat, relax, enjoy an ice cream and pick up a bargain. Everyone is welcome.”
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.
