South Leeds Life CIC has published its Annual Report for 2016/17 with details of the activities and finances of the not-for-profit company that publishes South Leeds Life.
The report was launched at our first Social Night on Friday 22 September. The report shows increased activity year on year and stronger finances.
Our sponsorship scheme, both for organisations and individual readers has been very successful in giving South Leeds Life a stable income.
The Board outlined their priorities for next year including encouraging more people to write for South Leeds Life. Watch out for new programme in 2018 to support new writers.
