An important visit!
On Tuesday 6th January, the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Dan Cohen, attended Catholic Care’s Friendship Group in Yeadon.
We were grateful to hear his incredible story and learn about his passion for Leeds, which brought laughter and smiles to everyone listening.
The Lord Mayor spoke about change, reflecting on Leeds’ growing industry and development, while also emphasising the importance of unity across communities. He highlighted that people of faith share more common ground than differences.
Thanks to a great question from Liam, one of our volunteers who has a learning disability, the Lord Mayor spoke about his chosen cause, Leeds Mencap , who, like Catholic Care, support people with learning disabilities.
We’re so grateful that the Lord Mayor took the time to meet with us, and we look forward to hosting him at our Food Pantry in Leeds on Thursday 8th January too.
