If anyone want to help out in their community in Kirkstall and New Wortley the organisers for the Kirkstall and New Wortley Community Action Day are looking for volunteers.

This year’s Kirkstall Festival in the grounds of the historic Kirkstall Abbey on Saturday, July 8. Those of you who have helped in past years know that this is one of the most important jobs at the Festival, raising the money that helps them continue to put on this fantastic community event.

Loads of Armley folk go to the event which is really a festival for all of West and North West Leeds! For those of you who haven’t volunteered before, you are guaranteed a great day out plus the warm glow of knowing you have made a massive contribution to the communities in the area.

Any help is welcome, from an hour or two to all day, your choice. Volunteers who offer 3 hours or more, get a lunch voucher to use at any of the great food stalls on site.

If you are able to help please email for more info to kirkfestgates@virgenmedia.com

The organisers will then get back with details of the exact sales location on site plus additional information on what to expect on the day.

The guys at New Wortley Community Centre are looking for volunteers to support their second New Wortley Community Action Day on Saturday, 24th June.

The action day, which involves litter picking and tidying up the estate, runs 10am-2pm -; just turn up on the day. There will be a free barbecue for active volunteers.

Thank you and hopefully we will see you there!
