Corona Bloody Virus Extraordinary Episode 68 Elissa Newman: Holbeck Together

Elissa Newman remotely connected to tell ne all about the fantastic work she and her team at Holbeck Together are doing:"Once the beating industrial heart of Leeds, Holbeck has a rich history shaped by the people who have lived and worked in the area. It’s a history brimming with pride, entrepreneurship and success.Yet more recently Holbeck’s situation has been better reflected by the startling fact that it is one of the 0.2% poorest areas in England and challenged by deprivations in income, employment, education, health, housing and environment and suffering from high crime rates.We work with communities to strengthen existing relationships and resources, keep older people socially and physically active, empowering them to make more informed choices and live longer."Dominique Simone sent me her beautiful track "Serenity" this week - the single will be release on May 28th so you are getting a priviliged pre-release listen!
