For anyone who’s new to our spaces, The Wishing Tree is a campaign we run annually to support our chosen charity partners. Rather than buying specific gifts which aren’t always sustainable for all, we aim to raise money to ensure the charities are getting the most value from donations.

Zest is an independent non-profit organisation and registered charity which offers support and opportunity to people living in disadvantaged areas of Leeds. Zest aims to address health inequalities and social isolation through activities which improve physical, mental, social, emotional and economic wellbeing. The organisation has its roots in East Leeds, but now works citywide.

Your donation can help support Zest in providing the following:

Donate £5 towards supporting a socially isolated individual to attend a support session

Donate £10 towards supporting two socially isolated individuals to attend a support session

Donate £15 to support a cooking class, helping teach essential cooking skills to people living in deprived areas of Leeds

Donate £25 to pay for a community group in a local venue for a week
