And in the meantime can we wish all our readers a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year. You’ll see less of us over the next week as we celebrate with our families, but we’ll be back with a fresh newspaper next Friday (30 December 2022).
Whilst you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper – up 50% so far this year.
