The other half of the money we raise will go towards The Little Sisters of the Poor, who used to have a care home in Headingley which sadly had to close in 2023 due to the discovery of unsafe RAAC concrete, and unfortunately all the residents had to be moved out. The Sisters provide phenomenal care to the elderly and the money we donate to them will go towards helping them build a new care home in Headingley!
