We work with disadvantaged communities in Leeds to promote happy and healthy lifestyles

Not everyone in Leeds has the same chances in life. We want to make Leeds a fair city where everyone has the same opportunity.

1 in 4 people in Leeds live in a deprived area

People from deprived areas live on average 12 years less than those in more affluent areas of Leeds

An estimated 37,000 people live in social isolation in Leeds

What we do

Zest offers support and opportunity to people facing disadvantage in our city. Working alongside residents, we provide people-led projects that connect residents and focus on hope and happiness.
