Chapel Allerton Directory for 2003

This directory will be SHUT DOWN sometime soon unless someone else would like to take it over. I haven't had time to maintain it and furthermore I'm leaving the area. It's on a free hosting service so it costs nothing except time. Volunteers please ring Thomas at 0113-226-6687, or mail greenery@ntlworld.com.

This directory lists community resources in the area of Chapel Allerton, part of Leeds, in West Yorkshire, U.K. Other aspects of Chapel Allerton, including its annual Arts Festival, can be found at our community website, http://www.chapelallerton.org.uk

Unless otherwise indicated all telephone numbers are within the Leeds area, with area code 0113.

The directory is maintained by voluntary effort. Although we try to keep it up to date we can take no responsibility for errors or omissions. If you find something that needs to be corrected, or if you want to have a new entry, please tell us! Telephone Thomas Green at 226-6687 or email him at greenery@ntlworld.com

Leeds Carers Centre

Aims: To alleviate some of the stress and social isolation felt by Carers by offering emotional support and a listening ear. Volunteers are recruited, trained and then matched with a Carer. They will offer regular visits, at the Carer's home or another venue of the Carer's choice, telephone calls, shared social outings and an introduction to Carer support services. They will also support a Carer through particularly difficult times e.g. when someone is in hospital, or when looking at residential/nursing homes. The volunteers are people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities who have offered their time. They will have received training in topics like confidentiality and will have some understanding of Carers needs. They may be former Carers themselves. The scheme is part of the Leeds Carers Centre and is funded by the National Lottery Charities Board. : 246 8338
