Volunteers at Leeds community farm 'gutted' as thieves break in and steal worktops, pans and even the kitchen sink
Volunteers at a Leeds community service hub have been left "gutted" after thugs stole equipment from their kitchen which feeds hundreds of families.
A spokesperson for Kirkstall Valley Farm said: "It's not just the cost of replacing these things - although that's bad enough - it's the volunteer time and effort that has gone into making a serviceable kitchen"Kirstall Valley Development Trust, working with the farm, pantry, and community hub, is an inclusive Community Benefit Society that aims to support the local community of Kirkstall.
"I was just totting up how many people and households KVDT feed each week - 70 to 80 households from our food pantry, 30 to 40 from our community café, and 100 plus vegetable boxes each week. Our staff and volunteers work their socks off - they don't need to have things made even more challenging. She said: "One of the projects we have been working on is creating an effective community space at the farm where we run play schemes, tots groups, private parties and community events. We are absolutely gutted."
