Congratulations to SNAPS for 20 years of supporting families with children with additional needs. A great achievement in a challenging climate for charities. Wonderful to see so many families today who have benefitted from your dedication & tenacity. Child Friendly Leeds

Proud that we're going to recognise some of the incredible, inspirational women who have made Leeds a great city. Please vote on which women's names should be on the walls of the Civic Hall. This is so important -women's contribution has been overlooked and we are changing that!

After an incredible deputation to our council meeting from care leavers, today we voted to make being care experienced a protected characteristic. This recognises the barriers & stigma care leavers face & is part of Leeds aspiring to be a fierce & aspirational corporate parent.

So proud of our Care Leavers’ Council for their brave & eloquent deputation asking Leeds Council to make being Care experienced a protected characteristic. I will be bringing a paper to our next Executive Board outlining how we will make this happen.

WTAF? Anyone making a 'joke' about giving their wife a date rape drug would be crass & distasteful, but this is the man who on the same day introduced a new law to prevent spiking. Yet another Tory unfit for office & bringing politics into disrepute. Roll on the General Election!

The Christmas ice cream van is a big hit at the ⁦Kirkstall Valley Development Trust (KVDT)⁩ Santa Trail! Such a great event - so many families have come out to see us ❤️🎄

Massive cuts to Leeds by the Conservative government and their Lib Dem enablers mean the council is having to make the most incredibly difficult decisions about what we can and can't continue to fund.

Over £2.5billion taken away from our city and it's people.

Fantastic afternoon talking about how we realise our ambition to be the best city for health & wellbeing & reducing health inequalities.
