Unity Enterprise is a not for profit organisation committed to the economic wellbeing of local communities and to the regeneration of inner city neighbourhoods through the provision of good quality, affordable offices and workspaces in the Leeds area. We run several English classes throughout the week. The classes are term time only.

Our weekly drama workshops for women are restarting. They will take place online or in person (at CLAY, 1-2 Regent Street, LS2 7QA). The workshops focus on building resilience and promoting wellbeing through drama, voice and movement. Our workshops are free to attend and open to refugees, asylum seekers and settled communities in Leeds. They are a great opportunity to practise English, make new friends and get creative. We have funding for data and devices to help participants take part. Places must be booked as capacity is limited.
