Where we're at

Since 2020 a huge amount of our work has been focused on Climate Action Leeds (CAL), a multi-organisation Lottery-funded project aiming to create a zero-carbon, nature-friendly, socially just Leeds by the 2030s. You can find out more here.

It’s been six years since we published our last strategy and a lot has changed since then, global, nationally, and locally. Much has changed in the last few weeks alone!

Leeds Tidal's next steps

For a long time, Tidal’s mission has been to support and foster more effective movements for social, economic, and environmental justice in Leeds, as part of a national and international movement. However, we want to and need to do more.

With the CAL project set to end next year, we were already busy thinking about what’s next and where to take Leeds Tidal.

With the result of the General Election, we see an opportunity, and an absolute need, to put forward and win the changes needed to create a more sustainable and socially just world.

We cannot allow things to be business as usual.

The challenge in front of us may seem tougher than ever, but we believe the answers for how to create a more just Leeds and beyond are there, it’s about building the movement to win them.

What we need

We are looking for new supporters to give a regular monthly donation to help us meet our funding goal of an extra £500 a month. This will enable us to make ends meet and continue into our next chapter.

We are currently a small organisation, with super low running costs, and a monthly donation of even £5 would make a really big difference to our financial health. And if you can afford £10 or £20 monthly donations are also very welcome!

Why regular donations are so valuable

Regular donations from local people make a really big impact on our financial security and gives us the
autonomy and certainty to organise big things in Leeds. It means we are able to avoid spending our
limited time searching for restrictive grant money, which is increasingly hard to come by.

What to expect

Leeds Tidal will become an organisation on the front foot of winning change. To start, you can expect us to:

Research, develop ideas, campaign, and organise, not just support.
Host more events and talks.
Run campaign planning, activism skills, and knowledge workshops.
Continue our work with Climate Action Leeds.
