The Big Leeds Chat went to the LS14 Trust’s activity groups to connect with people living in Seacroft.
21 people took part in this Big Leeds Chat. What did people say in Seacroft?
People in Seacroft often told us about how the pandemic and its lockdowns had changed their lives. For some, it had provided a welcome break from life’s usual stresses but, for others, the isolation had only worsened their mental health. A few local people said they would like mental health support but were struggling to get it.
Families and children came up a lot in our conversations in all kinds of ways, and there was a real appetite for more things for parents and children to do together. Sometimes what people wanted was a shared place to “just be”.
Something else that would make Seacroft a happier, healthier place to live, according to the residents we spoke to, was safer streets. Neighbours knowing each other and getting involved in the activities that are already making a difference to people’s lives was another popular idea.
