War on Want is involved in putting on this event in Leeds through the Economic Justice project. It’s hoping to be an inspiring day to bring together activists and those who havent’ been involved before to learn and take action together.
Summat New is an event which aims to bring people together from Leeds and across the region to promote social change, connect groups, improve access to and facilitate the sharing of resources and skills amongst those who share a similar vision.
