My story of hopefulness is Canal Connections CIC in Leeds. Located on the banks of the River Aire, Canal Connections is a beacon of hope, a hub of community, and a catalyst for change. The passion and commitment of Peter Forrest and the team is incredible. They're not just running programmes; they're changing lives. The location of their work is truly something special, from the inviting atmosphere of their building to the tranquillity of the boats on the river, the place is amazing.
