Established in May 2002, People Matters (West Yorkshire) CIO, based in Holbeck South Leeds. Is a charitable organisation that develops inclusive communities by bringing people together to enjoy leisure, learning and employment. The focus of our work is supporting people who experience disadvantage, including through learning and other disabilities or health issues, and who live within Leeds and surrounding areas. This includes supporting individuals to enjoy activities of their choice; bringing people together in groups to make friends, go out socially, and learn new skills, and involving people in the running of the organisation through voluntary or paid work. We are committed to sustaining the activities that value by developing income streams from contracts and trading, and so lesson our dependence on grants. Nearly two thirds of our income is generated through contracts and trading. We are a social firms, as defined by Social Firms England. We are currently supporting approximately 250 people each year, both adults and young people from 11 years, to enjoy activities and experiences.
