🌷 The sun is shining in Leeds and it feels like spring is upon us and so is 'moving season'! There have been a flurry of tenants ready to move on and just as many new move ins. So there are a lot of new beginnings happening but it feels very seasonally appropriate!

How do you feel about Valentine's Day? A lot of people don't like it, because of the commercialisation and overconsumption associated with it . . .

No.42 was derelict for upwards of 20 years, a local eyesore, antisocial magnet, and blight on the community. There are 4000 empty houses in Leeds your support can help us tackle this and create supported housing for homeless people www.latch.org.uk/donate

Progress! No.42 is a house that was abandoned for over 20 years. Full of pigeons, rats and damp. We're turning into a lovely, good quality, supported home for a homeless family ... we think it's starting to look good what do you think so far?
