Your local Community Association Needs You
Based in Leeds 15, The Garden Village Welfare Association was founded in 1946, with a Community Hall being constructed and opened in 1952 on land donated to the community by Gertrude Bray, a builder of hundreds of homes across Leeds, a self-taught architect, urban planning advocate, politician and mother.
It is one of the few remaining spaces available for our community, but we need the help of the local community to bring it to life and to make it thrive again, before it is lost forever.

b. To secure the erection and maintenance of a Community Centre for activities promoted by the Association and its constituent members in furtherance of the above objects or any of them.
