1,800 helped by food bank
This unashamedly modern house is packed with features for those of discerning taste.
Almondeberie House also has oodles of space with high ceilings and one of the largest living rooms we’ve seen; it’s 40ft long if you include the dining area. The house, which has two kitchens and five en-suite bedrooms, is on sale for around £1.1m, which is more than £300,000 off the original price. comes with eight bedrooms, a wealth of period features and a huge garden with plenty of privacy thanks to the mature trees which surround it. Estate agent Bridgfords says: “This beautiful property is one of the largest within the area of Lindley and it also comes with planning permission granted for an equally large seven bedroom detached residence.”
A NEW food bank that opened only six weeks ago has already helped 1,800 struggling families.
Aihtsham Rashid, Anwar Aziz, Mo Ali, Nazim Younis, Abdul Hussain, Kabir Miah and Saj Siddique are the team behind The Akhirah Team, a Leeds-based humanitarian group.
Although they have worked on a number of projects abroad, the non-profit charity launched a food bank at home in Harehills after seeing families struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
Mo Ali, 41, who grew up in Harehills and owns The Grill-O in Crossgates, said since they opened they have been in touch with schools who they now provide weekly food parcels to including Hovingham Primary School and Roundhay High School.
They have also distributed food to families around Chapel Allerton and Roundhay. On Christmas Day, they even took food parcels to an elderly home in Crossgates.
Despite, opening to help people because of the pandemic, the organisations plans to stay long term.
