This week it's Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance on 20 November that honours the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

TransLeeds and TransPrideLeeds are working with Leeds Teaching Hospitals to hold a candlelight vigil this Wednesday 20 November at 6pm, Great George Street Entrance, Leeds General Infirmary.

Refreshments and buffet, alongside a pop-up exhibition, followed by speakers from various organisations that are committed to supporting trans and non-binary communities.

Local mental health charity, Leeds Mind, is hosting an exciting firewalk event, right in the centre of Leeds. Join us outside Leeds Art Gallery (Victoria Gardens), for a memorable experience of walking barefoot across a bed of red-hot embers.

Training is provided from one of the UK’s leading firewalk companies, to get revved up and prepared for a fiery adventure. The fire is lit and participants will step-up to face the firewalk challenge one-by-one.

Morley Town Centre is gearing up to deliver its biggest and most exciting Christmas Light Switch-On yet, set to illuminate Queen Street on Saturday, 30th November. This year, the much-loved event promises an unforgettable evening of festive cheer, magical performances, and dazzling displays that will leave families and visitors alike in awe.

It’s time to channel your inner elf and join our festive 5km Elfie Run for a fun filled day on Sunday 8th December.

Our Elfie Run is accessible to all, you can walk, skip, jog or ride and dogs are welcome too! We have plenty of family festivities for everyone to enjoy at the spectacular Temple Newsam in Leeds including face painting, music, festive drinks and a best dressed elf competition!

With your support, together we can create a world where primary bone cancer is cured.
