In July, we celebrated one year of the Imagination Library pilot in East Leeds, working in partnership with Community Learning Partnerships (delivery partner), Clarion Housing Group, Places for People and Yorkshire Housing. The Imagination Library is a global, early-years reading initiative that gifts children aged 0-5 who are enrolled in the library one book a month until their fifth birthday, for free! Together, we’ve donated 486 books so far, with even more to come.

Check your eligibility

If you live in an LS8, LS9, LS14, or LS15 postcode, then you might be eligible to receive free books as part of the East Leeds Imagination Library. You can find out if you’re eligible through the registration form and start receiving your free books through the post! If you have any questions about the reading initiative, please email ilbooks@learningpartnerships.org.uk , who are managing the project.

Welcome to your area update

We continue to visit your area regularly. You can find more details in the Area Visits section of your neighbourhood page.

Home Condition Surveys are set to begin:

Making sure your home is safe and in a good condition is a top priority for us. To help us keep your home up to standard, we carry out a Home Condition Survey every 5 years – this is sometimes known as a Stock Condition Survey. The survey highlights any urgent repairs that you might not be aware of and helps us plan for future improvements in your home, such as a new kitchen or bathroom. You can find out more information here.
