Leeds Citizens

Who are we?

We are Leeds Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter.

Our alliance is formed of faith, education and community organisations, working together for the common good of Leeds.

Together we run campaigns that build relationships across diverse communities, get decision makers to listen to local people and win change.

Since our founding in 2015, we have had many campaign successes, including:

  • Living Wage pay rises for staff at Leeds City Council and other employers.
  • New primary care mental health services, improved dementia care for BAME communities.
  • Road safety measures in our local community.
  • Over Β£500,000 worth of housing estate repairs and improved rubbish collections in the Beckhills estate.
