About Us
 Hyde
Park Source was established in 1998 by two local people who
wanted to do something
about the state of their local environment. Their idea was to work
with local residents to create recreational and
pleasant spaces from anti-social and hazardous bin-yard areas which
occur
every
fourth house in the back-to-back terraced streets of Burley in
Leeds. From these beginnings, Hyde Park Source has grown into
a successful and
influential organisation providing  intensively
supported and accredited training
to disadvantaged young people. We are based in a purpose-renovated
house that was previously derelict for four years. We still create
gardens and play areas for community use from bin-yards, but the
emphasis has
shifted to the provision of training in work and life skills. |
