A heart of desires, beating with challenge and joy.

A newcomer of 45 years, deeply concerned with connecting diversity.

A colourful tree, shedding self to bring healing.

Lending hands, proving a Meeting Point for others in need.

Challenging the (bi)cycle of poverty with creativity and engineering.

Helping hands, drawn to the outskirts.

Life intermingled with family where belonging is found.

At the centre of family noticing the insularness of holding it all together.

Discovering creativity, right here, right now.

Finding hope in college, from Africa to Leeds.

Lifting the weights of others burdens.

A soon to retire, South to East Leeds lad.
