Oblong
We are a Leeds based community development charity whose purpose is to help people and communities flourish.
At Oblong, we are building a community where everyone belongs and matters.
"Oblong aims to develop the capacity and skills of people living in socially and economically disadvantaged areas in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to create active flourishing communities, and to run a community centre, primarily for the benefit of the Woodhouse , Little London and Hyde Park areas."
Thriving Together, a volunteer-led project where local people run their own groups and activities, supported by Community Development Workers;
Oblong has developed a unique and effective style of flat management which ensures everyone we work with has an equal partnership and voice in our development.
