St Basils Walk Preventing Young #Homelessness in #Birmingham takes places June 17th South #Cotswolds

It’s turned out to be a heart-warming day. An annual walk takes place hosted by St Basils  – preventing young homelessness in Birmingham – on June 17th in the glorious location of South Cotswolds where participants may take advantage of lovely villages and rural life whilst raising funds for the vulnerable.

I will be going along with a group of friends to the shortest walk (7 Miles) which is pet friendly. The two longer walks – dogs are not allowed but ideal for those with more stamina!

Please get involved if able. It’s going to be a lovely day out. Full details can be found by clicking on the image below. Good Luck and See You There!

Leeds Cat Rescue with the fluffy ones … #Fundraising #Leeds #Cats

Oh boy, I’ve been doing a lot of catching up in Leeds. Today I visited Leeds Cat Rescue. They’re such a wonderful team. This year they’ve already re-homed nearly 80 cats and rescued many more of which are in fantastic foster homes.

Here’s Dillon he was rescued from Gumtree together with 3 Siblings being held by chief whip the amazing Vanessa in Diane’s home. Diane is a pure Angel. They all are …

Really does warm my heart being amongst sincere and transparent causes such as Leeds Cat Rescue. I am going to write much more about them over at UKRescueConnect shortly. There’s lots of kitties to tell you all about! Got my son with me today trying to sort out the bloody kitchen. I cannot believe how long it’s taking. So for this weekend I am pottering around, nesting – dancing. More pottering, de-cluttering …. daydreaming …. and on.

Revive Leeds – #Kirkstall – #Leeds new re-use shop for SLATE and St Vincent de Paul also #Seacroft.

Went on adventure yesterday then discovered Revive Leeds in North-West Leeds. It’s a new shop on The Kirkstall Road next to McDonalds and in front of Aldi (a couple of miles from the centre) that takes bric-a-brac and good quality clothes and furniture. It had a bit of everything from Star Wars memorabilia to vinyls and trainers. I loved it in there. I resisted to buy anything as I have enough but I shall certainly volunteer when I’m free.

They don’t yet have much of a social media presence so I thought I’d write a little blog. A very friendly dedicated team. I even persuaded someone to buy two bed side table cabinets. I spoke with the deputy manager Jonathon who is very excited about the new venue. It’s a sister site to the success of their first re-use shop in Seacroft where Richard Burgon is the local Labour MP covering East Leeds who is notorious for getting involved in community projects to incorporate speaking with pupils of his constituency in Parliament. That’s commendable. Leeds is all about community, the arts and delegation. That’s why I spend so much time here. Without bias, I just love being in amongst groups and collectives doing such great work – Revive Leeds being an essential part of this. Not to mention – I despise waste. Every little thing has a purpose. Upcycle – recycle.

Below is a photo I love of Richard Burgon borrowing Jeremy Corbyn’s office whilst speaking with Allerton Grange 6th Form children. (I stole it from his Twitter page, actually.) Bless them. Richard’s got his glasses on – nice!

Revive Leeds is a partnership between St Vincent De Paul – a charity helping alleviate poverty and SLATE a charity group supporting people with learning disabilities. So really, by donating you are doing great things for local concern.

Revive Website with more details here for both Kirkstall and Seacroft – please pop in and treat yourself. There’s some great deals to be had. Perhaps you need a new sofa or a pair of trainers. There’s something for everyone!
