Tree planting and new noticeboard

Through our community-based approach, we’re finding new ways to increase our presence in local communities and make a positive impact on our customers, local businesses, and charities.

Recently, our Neighbourhood Officer, Sharon Lanceley, coordinated a community event in Belle Isle where members of Leeds Federated rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty planting trees in Woodville Square.

In collaboration with Leeds City Council and Fruit Works, a social enterprise that helps communities in Bradford and Leeds to plant and maintain fruit trees, we have secured a plot of land across from the flats at Woodville Square.

We intend to plant a total of 7 fruit trees, including cherry, apple, plum and pear. The mini Orchard once grown with enhance the view and block the view of the M62.

Come and roll your sleeves up as we need volunteers. Meeting at 10am on Woodville Square. All equipment will be provided.

We’re also pleased to share that the new Belle Isle Woodville Square Community Noticeboard is now up! it will provide a dedicated space for customers and the local community to stay informed, share feedback and connect with neighbours.
