Belle Isle Elderly Aid

We are a small locally based charity working with older people living in a poor neighbourhood ward area – Belle Isle in Leeds. We were the first charity to be formed within a Leeds locality in 1986, specifically to support local older people, and are supported and officially recognized by Leeds City Council.  We are part of the Network of locally based charities in all areas of Leeds known as the Neighbourhood Networks for Older People. We support approximately 800 older people in our area to live independently in our community. We do this through the provision of a range of services, and the existence of our ’59 Centre’, which is a Day Centre for older people to attend.
