Welcome to Oblong Resource Centre!

Welcome to Oblong! We run a community resource centre in North Leeds that provides advice, support and facilities for local people who want to make a difference through volunteering and community projects.

We are now on facebook!!!

Local Voices - new website of Woodhouse stories and people

Local Voices is a project that students from Oblong's Community Transformers project ran in summer 2010. Scores of local people shared their feelings about the area - giving video interviews, creating maps of the area and writing poetry.

The project culminated in an exhibition which brought together words, images and people from Woodhouse past and present. Have a look at some of the results here: http://localvoices.co.uk/wordpress/video-page/

Oblong will be closed on bank holiday Monday 30th August.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Woodhouse Community Centre

Oblong is in the process of seeking the transfer of Woodhouse Community Centre on a long term lease from Leeds City Council, so that we can run the centre. Earlier this summer we submitted a business plan for the centre and have now had an initial response from the Council.

We are currently in the process of collecting information and developing a response to this. We hope to have this completed in the next couple of weeks.
