Brilliant! Such a powerful story — and a reminder that even Scrooge’s “humbug” hides loneliness, loss and the need for connection. Perfect timing for Leeds Playhouse to spotlight empathy and change — themes that run right through the city’s VCSE and health and social care networks too. 👏🎭

Leeds is full of quiet moments that change lives.
A volunteer walking someone to an appointment.
A community café where neighbours stop to chat.

These small acts hold the same weight as big strategies. They keep the city moving forward together.

Tell us your stories. Big or Small.
