The venue, St Luke's Church in Swarcliffe, was decked out with balloons and bunting, while the local Good Neighbours branch baked a special celebratory cake.
More than 80 local people joined in the fun, 60 of them children from Swarcliffe and Grimes Dyke Primary Schools.
Whinmoor 'B' began life as a group formed by residents who wanted a say on the projects being planned in the area at the time.
Since then the group has gone from strength to strength, getting involved with projects such as cold-weather food parcels for elderly people to flower planting.
Group secretary Dot Scahill said: "We will continue to work with Aire Valley Homes and others to ensure Swarcliffe remains a safe, pleasant place to live."
