Re:establish, the charity that works with young people in Beeston and Holbeck, has found its own home in Holbeck and is in the process of getting it ready to open next month.
The Loft is located next to Slung Low’s Warehouse in Holbeck and Jamyang Buddhist Centre on Crosby Road. The former warehouse space is being transformed into activity and meeting spaces, there will also be a teaching kitchen and greenhouse space.
Re:establish have teamed up with Open Source Arts to develop and manage The Loft and have set the date for an opening party – on Thursday 20 March 2025. They just need some help with the final push to decorate the building.
Willing volunteers, you don’t need any construction skills, are invited to lend a hand every Thursday between 10am and 7pm and every Saturday between 10:30am and 2:30pm. In return for your elbow grease, you will receive a hot meal.
The team are also keen to hear from people and groups who would like to use the space. Have you got an idea for a project, but nowhere to run it? The space is free for people trying out new ideas. Contact: phil12@reestablish.org.uk
Even if you can’t help with the work, you are welcome to join the opening party, which is also a celebration of Re:establish’s 10th anniversary, on Thursday 20 March from 6-8:30pm. Reserve your ticket here.
While 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 which have doubled in the last two years.
