The Group generally meets between 7pm-9pm every third Thursday of the Month at Leeds Civic Hall (the large white building opposite Millennium Square). At the Meetings we have various Guest Speakers and discuss Amnesty Campaigns and Business.

We have a group of fundraisers who tend to meet on Thursdays in O’Neills pub on Great George street to organise music, comedy and other fundraising events and gigs, we’ve had some really successful events, enjoyed by many over the last few years! We are always on the look out for new members, ideas and input into helping us organise events and make cash for the amazing work of Amnesty International.

We have a group of individuals who meet to organise events and campaign objectives around our “Stop Violence Against Women” Campaign, generally we meet on Wednesday evenings in O’Neill’s pub on Great George Street.

Refugees and Asylum Seekers (R.A.S.) sub-group

“Control Arms” Campaign

As part of our on-going “Control Arms” campaign we occasionally meet to discuss specific days of planning. We have organised events and stalls in Leeds City Centre, occasionally working with OXFAM campaigners on this specific jointly supported campaign.
