PUDSEY COMMUNITY PROJECT 

Pudsey Community Project exists to transform Pudsey and its surrounding areas (an area of 20,000 households) with and for the local community, especially for those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged. We do that through operating Pudsey Foodbank, Pudsey Community Pantry, Reduce Reuse Kids' Clothes, a weekly lunch club and youth and children's provision several times each week.
