Culturally specific services 

We know that culturally diverse communities are more likely to face cost of living challenges than the general population. Leeds Culturally Diverse Hub is working with a range of partners to understand what culturally specific support is available. As we increase our understanding of the new services that are being developed, we will update this site and through our other media channels.
