Estate agent supports Meanwood family fun day

The Headingley branch of Manning Stainton was among the sponsors of this year’s Meanwood family fun day.

The event was one of the many highlights of the third Meanwood Festival, a packed 10 day programme of events showcasing all that is good about this popular part of Leeds.

Miserable weather failed to dampen the spirits of the large crowd at the Parkside Road cricket ground who were treated to over 60 craft and community stalls, children’s attractions, tasty refreshments and live music. There was also a guest appearance by local celebrity, Ronnie the Rhino!

The Meanwood Festival and Fun Day is organised by the Meanwood Valley Partnership which consists of local residents who volunteer their time and skills to preserve, protect and enhance the Meanwood Valley area.

Chris Swales, one of the event organisers, said: "Through the Meanwood Valley Partnership we aim to improve resources and facilities whilst maintaining the area’s great heritage and community spirit.

"None of this can be achieved without the support of Leeds City Council, the wider community and local businesses such as Manning Stainton to whom we extend our very grateful thanks."

Stevie Sawiuk, manager of the Manning Stainton branch in Headingley, added: "Meanwood is a brilliant place to live and bring up families which is thanks in no small part to the amazing efforts of the Meanwood Valley Partnership who work tirelessly to make it even better."Supporting local events and initiatives such as the family fun day is exactly why our on-going community support programme was first established and it was a real privilege to be involved."The Headingley branch of Manning Stainton is open seven days a week and the team is ready to take customer calls from 8am – 8pm.

It is among 19 residential sales and lettings branches across West and North Yorkshire helping people move.
