Harehills Action Team

Who we are: 

Harehills Action Team [HAT] was established in September 2023 in direct response to community calls for a more vibrant, empowered and united Harehills.   We create accessible spaces for connection, expression and action. 

Our services include weekly term time Chatty cafe sessions in The Compton Centre on a Monday morning, and one off events, activities and occasional trips throughout the year. We also meet and partner with other community organisations and projects across Leeds

Our Vision:

Our vision is a Harehills, Burmantofts and surrounding neighbourhoods where people feel at home, safe, and proud of where they live.

 People from different cultures and backgrounds come together to build a welcoming and lively community,  where basic needs are met, talents and skills are shared, and friendships flourish. Residents feel more confident and empowered, with equal access to services, resources and opportunities. People understand what support is available locally and how to access it. 

Cultural heritage is celebrated, understanding and trust are strengthened, and racial tension and discrimination are reduced — creating a more harmonious, connected, and  united community for all
