Services (please move down the page for activities)
Shopping Service
Every Wednesday we take people shopping to ASDA on York Road in the fully adapted and accessible RHEAsy bus, picking you up from your front door. Once at ASDA you can shop for a full hour and then relax in the café after whilst your shopping is loaded back onto the RHEAsy bus. We then take you right back to your front door and even bring your shopping in for you. Full support with shopping and packing is also available so you can enjoy your shopping experience. Let us do the hard part for you! Cost: £4 per person, £2 for your first trip and a lot cheaper than a round trip in a taxi.
Home Visits
If you have a problem or a question, Darrell our Outreach Worker will gladly make an appointment to come and see you in your home if you would prefer. He will provide support and assistance to resolve any queries you have or any difficulties you may be facing, all in total confidence.
Gardening Scheme
Please contact us for details of a fully qualified, police checked gardener.
Drop In Service
Our doors are open between 10am and 1pm, Monday to Friday, if you would like to the call in to discuss something, get advice or an answer to a question. Private rooms are also available if you would like to discuss something confidential.
Winter Warmth
From November every year we have a range of affordable, good quality items to help you keep warm and snug during the winter months. Items include thermal underwear, vests, bed socks, blankets, fleece bed sheets, gloves and scarves.
Benefits Advice
We work closely with Leeds Benefits Service and The Pension Service to help you claim benefits you are entitled to. We will also assist you to fill in forms and paperwork if you need us to.
Advocacy Support
Advocacy is all about speaking up for your rights and getting your point accross. Darrell is available to work with you on any advocacy matters so that your voice is heard.
Signposting
