Lots of our food is good quality surplus food which would have gone to landfill. We are committed to stopping food waste and offering affordable food for all.
We work with others to help the environment and help with the cost of living.
We buy food from an organisation called Fareshare who distribute food from supermarkets which they can’t sell because they’ve made too much.
We all need some help with the cost of living at the moment !
Come and see what amazing food we have this week…

We are also offering free tea and coffees and a chat in the church on Thursday Afternoons.

Let's grow community day. Come and join us on 15th August 11-1pm at Crossgates community center LS15 7TU

We have just one more craft session before we close for the month of August.

Next week, on Wednesday 15th July, Liz from Space2 will be visiting Craft & Chat to show members how to make greeting cards using the technique of paper quilling.

This session will be held at the Methodist Church Hall on Austhorpe Road in Crossgates, between 1 - 3 pm.

Places are limited to ensure we have enough materials for everyone. For this reason please email [email protected] to request a place. These will be allocated on a first come first reserved basis.

Taking part in these led sessions is optional. As always, please feel free to come along and spend some time working independently on your own craft project instead.

Craft & Chat operates a 'pay as you can' policy, with a recommended minimum donation of £2.
