The 2025 Leeds Digital Charity Ball will be hosted at The Royal Armouries, New Dock Hall, and will bring together over 500 members of the North’s Digital and Technology community. Whether you want to make new connections or see old friends, we have everyone in the room, from CTOs and CDIOs to entry-level talent. This is your chance to build meaningful relationships and even do some business while raising money for Leeds Community Foundation. Introduction Digital exclusion continues to be a major issue, with people living in digital poverty increasingly left out in a world where everything has become digital-first. To bridge the divide, people need access to three key things: equipment, connectivity, and skills. Collaboration is key. With a group of board members and supporters from across the Leeds region, we have come together to ignite the tech community through an annual charity ball, creating a powerhouse fighting a common goal: helping the disadvantaged, abolishing digital exclusion, and driving positive change. Digital technology and the internet can transform lives by creating opportunities and providing support where it’s needed most. To tackle the underlying causes of digital exclusion, we have created the annual Leeds Digital Charity Ball to challenge the digital divide and raise funds so more people can develop skills and access the technology needed to live in a digital world. Impact So Far In total, we have raised £225,000 since 2021. Last year, the ball was a sellout event, raising over £65,000, which directly supports Leeds Community Foundation, small charities, and community organisations within the city to help local people. With support from 100% Digital Leeds, Leeds Community Foundation funds projects that take various approaches to addressing the digital divide in our communities, from one-to-one and group digital skills sessions to training digital champions. From using art to teach digital skills to providing support for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, organisations are tailoring their work to meet their communities’ needs.

Sunday 8th June 10 am - 5:30 pm Invitation: This day retreat is for any woman ready to traverse the wild and beautiful landscape of the womb - with the intention to meet with unintegrated parts, heal and activate this powerful portal of creation. This day retreat combines a learning aspect with deep self-inquiry, and self-initiation through plant spirit connection, somatic movement medicine, embodiment practices, & guided shamanic journeying with sound alchemy. Each energetic gate of the womb is connected to a physical part of the womb/body, so this will be deeply healing on a physical level as well as mental and emotional - which are all intrinsically interwoven. Although we have a destination in mind and heart (the 8th gate - the Void of creation), this journey is about exactly that - the journey - and every thought, feeling and emotion that rises along the way, as we meet ourselves more deeply. The gates of the womb are each connected with different archetypal energies, elements, energies, shadows and gifts of wisdom. Our primary intention is to become whole and integrated, by connecting to all parts of ourselves, through the magical portal that is our womb. What To Expect Within Ceremony: Grounding Meditation & Heart-Womb Connection Plant Medicine Ceremony (Cacao + Rose) Collaborative Journey Through The 8 Gates - Contemplation & Altar Creation Womb-healing Luncheon Somatic Movement Medicine & Embodiment Journey Sacred Sound Journey & Light Language Activation Conscious Closing Who Is This For?

Maddie Morris and Lunatraktors double headline tour reaches Leeds. Maddie Maddie Morris is an artist who strives to make a difference in the world. Bold, insightful and refreshingly unique, they take traditional song in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues. Folk songs have always told stories, but how Maddie makes their mark is by turning this storytelling into action. Described by Jim Moray as “leading the next generation of socially conscious songwriters”, they use their work to highlight inequality, challenge viewpoints and provide an inclusive space for shared experiences. Whether they’re turning a centuries-old ballad on its head or writing something new, Maddie places their focus on drawing out true meaning rather than being true to tradition. Their debut studio album, Skin, (release February 2024) is a beautifully crafted collection of songs which amplifies the stories of those often marginalised by society. Passionately political, yet gently understated, this is music that deftly treads the path between art and activism. Lunatraktors Lunatraktors is a collaboration between artist, choreographer and percussionist Carli Jefferson (she/her), and artist, vocalist and researcher Clair Le Couteur (they/them). The project started in 2017 with the post-apocalyptic question: what's left when we've lost everything? Stripping folk song down to the bare bones, Lunatraktors’ 'broken folk' blends Le Couteur’s overtone singing and 3+ octave range with the hybrid of tap dance, flamenco and body percussion that Jefferson developed after touring with STOMP (2001-2004). The pair turned heads when their DIY debut This Is Broken Folk – percussion and vocals recorded live in a viaduct arch by Ramsgate harbour – made MOJO Magazine's Top Ten Folk Albums of 2019. Jefferson’s compulsion to dance while drumming prompted Lunatraktors to assemble a tonal percussion kit, providing both rhythm and melody. Added resonances come from Le Couteur’s free-reed instruments, whistles and analogue synth. Reimagining Anglo-Celtic folk through a shared teenage absorption in jungle, drum’n’bass, triphop, art rock and post-punk, Lunatraktors have built up a passionate fan base at festivals, galleries, museums, theatres and queer cabarets. A double act in the old fashioned sense, Jefferson’s hyper-expressive performance style meets Le Couteur’s channelled voices of multiple tragicomic characters. Second album The Missing Star was #2 in MOJO Magazine’s Top Ten Folk Albums of 2021. Recent commissions include: Ten Songs for a Lar; Invisible Worlds (UCL, National Trust); a British Music Collection LGBTQ+ Composer Award; and ‘Beyond the Binary’ – exploring gender expression in Music Hall, Pantomime and Variety (Kent Library Archives). About the Venue All Hallows Leeds has a strong reputation as a Queer friendly space. The building is all on one level giving good access for people with mobility issues, There is a large wheelchair accessible toilet (labelled as all gender) as well as other toilets. The room is usually all seated but should have space to get up and move around, seats in rows but expect a couple of sofas at the back of the room. Bar details will be added nearer the time (i.e. once we know what we are doing ) There is a small carpark at the front of the venue but if you need park directly next to the door please do message in advance. ] The gigs are organised by a small number of friends who are passionate about music, we only put on 2 or 3 gig a year for acts we absolutely love. Anyone with access questions please do message and we will answer and do our best to accommodate. Information Source: LIVE AT ALL HALLOWS | eventbrite

Fringe gathering: June 25th 6:30pm, evening rooftop drinks @Leeds Beckett University School of Arts ConnectUp: June 26, 2025 | 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM If you're craving real connection that helps you grow (and not just a stack of business cards), then this one’s for you. We all know the usual “networking” thing can feel... well, awks. So let’s do it differently.

Yes, we’ve got expert speakers and panels. Yes, there’s networking. But this isn’t a box-ticking day - it’s a full-on exploration of people, relationships, and how the different ways we connect can drive our businesses forward.

Others in co-working get-togethers, accountability peer groups, mentoring circles, super-structured meetings or informal gatherings over coffee and cake. And that’s kind of the point. Different ways of getting together serve different purposes. ConnectUp is your chance to explore, find what works for you, and meet the people already making it happen. And of course, this is the North. So expect warmth, grit, big ideas, good biscuits, and a room full of talent from Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Hull, Newcastle and beyond.
