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.

Recruiting Community Transformers

Community Transformers is a free 20 week course for people who want to take action to change their community

* Learn how to run community projects and campaigns.
* understand what's needed to make a real difference.
* Decide on an issue that's important to you.
* Take action by setting up a new project with the other people on the course.
* You don't need any previous experience or qualifications.
* You do need to want to make a difference by taking action.

Community Transformers will show how to take action and get results.

Oblong is moving!

As you may have heard, there has been no electricity or heating at Oblong's Beulah Hall centre for the last couple of weeks. This has been through no fault of Oblong's and is something we are unable to do anything about. We have tried to negotiate with our landlord to resolve the situation, but have been unsuccessful and the power is still off. Therefore, Oblong is moving out of Beulah Hall.

Oblong is closed but activities are still happening!

Oblong is still without lighting or heating. We have had to shut the building but most of our activities are still happening. We're very sorry for the inconvenience that this causes. We hope the problem will be resolved shortly and in the mean time we're finding other venues for activities.

Tuesday 1st Dec
Community Transformers course, 10am at The Fred Shed, 45 Westfield Road, LS3 1DG.

Oblong closed until further notice

Due to a problem with our power supply, Oblong is currently without lighting or heating. We have had to shut the building and suspend all our activities. We're very sorry for the inconvenience that this causes. We hope the problem will be resolved by the end of the week and in the mean time we're finding other venues for activities.

Tuesday 24th Nov
Community Transformers course, 10am at Leeds Met Student Union meeting room.
