Time to Celebrate: Launch of new IT Suite and celebration of local partnerships in Chapeltown
18/10
Chapeltown Enterprise Centre in partnership with Leeds Metropolitan University is holding the official opening of brand new IT facilities at the Centre on 21 October as part of Black History Month.
The event will celebrate the new facility which will be available to the local community as well as the achievements of the many local organisations who work hard to support the Chapeltown community.
The new facilities have been funded by Leeds Met Training, part of Leeds Metropolitan University, which regularly deliver courses at the centre, enabling local people to access higher education in their own community.
The purpose of the afternoon is celebrate the achievements of local people and showcase the successful supporting role that organisations such as Chapeltown Enterprise Centre, Leeds Met Training and other local groups provide in the local area. It is also an opportunity for people to see the new facilities available at the centre and find out about support services offered in the area.
The new facilities will be officially opened by Clinton Cameron MBE. Over the last forty years Clinton Cameron has been a key participant in community activities in Chapeltown and Harehills. He was a founder member of the Chapeltown/Harehills Law Centre and served as Chair of the Law Centre Federation until the early 1980s. In 1980 he co-founded Harambee, a housing organisation which opened one of the first hostels for homeless and unemployed young people in Leeds. As a direct result of setting up Harambee, he became involved in the voluntary housing movement and remained active in it locally and nationally until May 2003.
The Centre is welcoming invited guests from locally active organisations as well as the general public to join this celebration event.
