Our building

Visit our wonderful community hub in Cross Green, Leeds for a warm welcome, whether you’re a member coming for the first time or coming to a regular group, or a partner visiting for a meeting.

Our building

Our building holds a lot of history and used to be a sandwich shop! We moved to Cross Green Lane in 2006 and bought the building outright in 2021 with support from one of our long-term funders. We became the first Gypsy and Traveller organisation to own their own community centre, part of our long-term plan for sustaining our work.

Our story

We run a thriving community hub and resource centre which serves over 400 families and individuals from local areas and those passing through. The building is recognised by Gypsies and Travellers from across the country which is why it was chosen to be represented in our logo.
