Leeds City Council is looking for organisations with a commitment to Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) to work with them to deliver new pathfinder schemes in Leeds.

Leeds has pioneered the use of ABCD, a neighbourhood-based community building approach founded on the principle that given the tools and the opportunity, small groups of citizens can change the things that they believe need changing in the community better than anyone else. ABCD Pathfinders have facilitated citizen led action and evidenced a range of positive impacts including an improvement in health and well-being and reduced loneliness and social isolation in our communities.

This is an exciting time to work in Leeds on ABCD as we continue to grow and develop our approach.

The total grant available is £25,000 per annum with work expected to commence no later than 1st January 2022.

Application deadline: 4 October 2021

If you are interested in applying, please email ABCD@leeds.gov.uk for an application form.

A virtual Question and Answer session will be on Wednesday 8 September 10:00-11:30am

Please email us at abcd@leeds.gov.uk for a link to the webinar and/or if you have any further questions.
