Welcome to our weekly newsletter!

Please note the earlier time for the Smilers session which is part of the project run by Made with Music and Leeds Conservatoire. 

We'd also like to encourage everyone to come along to the Leeds Conservatoire concert where the Smilers will be performing. 

We are recruiting, both for volunteers at our shop and cafe 21 Co., and for trustees of Sunshine & Smiles, specifically those with experience or interest in finance.
