A few years on and its clear that this church is fully functioning and has an active congregation. There are flowers blooming in the garden area and a sign welcoming people in. This is great as it is such a beautiful building really adding to the traditional cityscape of Leeds with is blackened stone bricks from more industrial times. It lies on the road towards Headingley, a little way out of the city centre. The Ashwood group functions in the church, running music groups and a youth club. I have cycled past a few times on a Friday or Saturday night around midnight to see a few people gathered round a bbq giving out burgers to drunk students passing by. I have seen a similar crew in Headingley and I think they call themselves Jesus's Army, or something similar. Whilst I am not a Christian, I do admire the enthusiasm of the people involved in this church and how they engage with the community - I couldn't refuse a free burger on a Saturday night could I?!

This parish hall is a wonderful centre for the Headingley community. I have been to Iyengar yoga…read moreclasses here for years and have always appreciated the calm environment. The building is made out of real Yorkshire stone and its blackened facade reminds you Leeds was once an industrial centre. It is a piece of history amongst the fluctuating residents of Headingley. It houses plenty of other communities too - baby ballet, a baby singing group, a choir, karate lessons, a latin reading group and even a wine group (in a church?!). There are rooms available to hire out and the only downside in my experience is that the hall is a bit cold on a winter evening!

I appreciate the skill and beauty in a good stain glass window and find the eerie cold and echoes that you get in old churches quite compelling and interesting. It's nice to walk in from off the street into something that feels very different and has a quietness that is slightly other worldly. St Aidans in Harehills is a lovely old building, still very much in full swing. It opened it's doors in 1894 and is one of the few Anglican parishes to celebrate Mass daily. Inside they have a huge organ, an intricately designed pulpit, various ancient hand carved statues and a very beautiful baptistery and font made in Newcastle from various different marbles. They are open at some point every day. They hold a youth club, a mothers club and tours for groups in which you can view The Brangwyn Mosiac. Especially good for school visits.

I have passed this church countless times and occasionally been amused by their encouraging posters…read moreabout Jesus and God. The latest reads something like - feel taken for granted? Imagine how God feels! I have never been moved to visit the church in a religious capacity, however. Like many churches these days, the hall acts as a community space. I have been to a few yoga and dance workshops here and the space is really great. Even though it is on the Otley Road, when inside it is very peaceful. At the back there is a large green area which is also very pleasant. I'm sure many community take advantage of this space by meeting here.

I was hugely surprised by All Hallows, my friend took me along when I fist started coming to Leeds and we'd go to an extremely cheap yoga session that left us both floating and speechless for hours after. There's a community café, film night, meditation, breakdancing and all sorts available at prices people on low incomes can afford because the church works hard to secure funding to allow people access to activities that may otherwise be too costly. I am extremely thankful to the church for doing all this whilst still acting as a place for worship. I think it is a wonderful idea ad a massive aid to the community.

Friendly Headingley church with something for everyone. There are five congregations (mostly called…read moremission communities) with more in the pipeline. Sunday morning at Headingley (10.30) is family-orientated, with singles, students, older people, and loads of kids and teenagers too. Huge fun junior church with groups for all ages, very popular and kids bring their friends too. Lots of people stay for a nice lunch every other week, and there's always coffee and biscuits. Evening service (6.30) smaller but more focussed - current teaching programme on singleness/sex/friendship/etc, but not just aimed at students. 'Four' meets at 3pm and has a higher proportion of young professionals and students, as well as some older people, kids and normal people who don't fall into any of the other categories! Also congregations in Horsforth and Adel. Non-believers, seekers, sceptics enthusiasts and notbeenforages people all welcomed and accepted.
