Blue Christmas
“Well designed event with nutritious food to put us all in a good mood and then two excellent speakers. I was fascinated to learn of the history of public transport in Leeds…” Social Justice Lunch attendee
“It's lovely to have an excuse to look differently at a place you see all the time.” Sketch Walk attendee
“As first timer at exploring this subject area, I felt welcomed and encouraged by others in the group.” Enneagram Book Club member
“Sometimes I find it useful to remember to stop and breathe and notice with a different focus. The regular sessions have really helped to give shape and discipline to my week.” Monday Mindfulness member
“Eleanor has created a space that I can trust and know I can bring any issue to.” Have Your Voice Heard member
“As a Christian, I am glad that I can still 'celebrate' Christmas while embracing my recent sorrow and anger at the same time. I do not have to pretend to be joyful at the Blue Christmas service. It also helps to soothe my pain.” Blue Christmas attendee
