LEEDS 2023 is for everyone. Creative events are going to take place all over the city, in every district, for everybody. Culture is everywhere in this city and it can actually change people’s lives so we want to celebrate it, in all its forms, in all our communities. And you’re all invited to be a part of it.

Five Lamps aims to ?transform lives, raise aspirations, remove barriers and offer choice to families, business and communities?. They are a charity that supports the community by re-investing any profit back into the business. They are also known as a social enterprise, registered charity and community development finance institution.

Framework is a specialist charity providing housing, support, training, care, resettlement and employment for thousands of homeless and vulnerable people each year in the East Midlands and parts of South Yorkshire. For a homeless person, getting a secure roof over their head is a crucial first step –finding somewhere that is safe, dry and warm. However, to tackle homelessness effectively it is not sufficient simply to put a roof over someone’s head, and our work does not stop there. The underlying economic, social, medical and emotional circumstances which contributed to an individual’s situation must also be addressed: we passionately believe that having someone who cares and can offer appropriate support is equally important in helping people on the journey from homelessness to independent living.
