About us
People Matters (West Yorkshire) is a Leeds-based charity dedicated to empowering individuals with learning disabilities, hidden disabilities, and other disadvantages. Our mission is to create inclusive opportunities that enable people to live independently and enjoy life just like anyone else. We offer a wide range of services including skills development, social activities, employment support, and one-to-one mentoring. We also have a micro social enterprise called Nourishing People within People Matters, where our trainees develop and sell healthy snacks. Our person-centred approach ensures that each individual receives tailored support to meet their unique needs and aspirations. We also provide advice and guidance to help members navigate everyday challenges and build confidence. Through our community-focused initiatives, we aim to reduce isolation, promote equality, and foster a sense of belonging. With a dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and trustees, People Matters is committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of those we support across the city.
