VCHP launches new centre in Leeds

Vision Care for Homeless People has officially opened a new centre in Leeds, inviting Leeds Rhinos prop forward Anthony Mullally to cut the ribbon.

He spoke out about supporting vulnerable people in the community at St George’s Crypt in Leeds, where the centre is based.

Mullally said: ‘I believe that people in a fortunate position like myself have a responsibility to give more than we take. I don’t understand why, in this day and age, people are living on the street – it is something that has always bothered me. I was recently trekking in Peru and it gave me a lot of time to think about these things, and I want to make a difference myself. Leeds Rhinos has a policy of going out to the community – giving people an option in life is great.’
