Who we are

HEART is Headingley’s community, enterprise and arts centre.

Home to Assembly Bar + Kitchen, Tiny Boo play area for pre-schoolers, and Pulse co-working space, HEART is a space for professional gatherings, private functions, and community classes, and hosts a rich programme of arts and events.

HEART opened in 2011 thanks to the hard work of our local community who strived to keep this wonderful building in public use.

HEART’s vision is to create a vibrant and welcoming space for a wide range of people to meet, mix, work and play.

Support HEART

We would like to thank all of our staff, volunteers, and local community for supporting us to return to business as usual.

We have been so overwhelmed by the generosity of HEART supporters over this time and hope you can still continue to offer that support.

The Centre is still recovering and, unlike many organisations, HEART has to be entirely self-sufficient; we don’t receive grants or any other kind of subsidy, so have to make every penny and pound ourselves.

As ever, whether it’s £1 or £100, it all makes a difference.
