HOW CAN WE RESPOND TO POVERTY? SHOULD WE BE MEETING NEEDS OR MAKING CHANGE?

This special episode of the Leeds Sanctuary podcast is a live recording of the panel discussion from our March 2025 Social Justice Lunch in collaboration with Leeds Church Institute, entitled "Prophet or Provider: How can we end poverty in Leeds?"

The panel for this event was Nic Harte from Rainbow Junktion; Georgia Whatnall from Leeds North and West Foodbank; and Jonathan Chesterman from StepChange Debt Charity.
