Brilliant! Such a powerful story — and a reminder that even Scrooge’s “humbug” hides loneliness, loss and the need for connection. Perfect timing for Leeds Playhouse to spotlight empathy and change — themes that run right through the city’s VCSE and health and social care networks too. 👏🎭

Leeds is full of quiet moments that change lives.
A volunteer walking someone to an appointment.
A community café where neighbours stop to chat.
