Volunteers at Leeds community farm 'gutted' as thieves break in and steal worktops, pans and even the kitchen sink

Volunteers at a Leeds community service hub have been left "gutted" after thugs stole equipment from their kitchen which feeds hundreds of families.

On Sunday, April 16, Kirstall Valley Farm in Kirkstall Road, discovered the worktops, pans, and kitchen sink in their Unit 11 KVDT kitchen used to help the Kirkstall community had all been stolen. Every week up to 140 meals are made for struggling families in the area, and 40 meals were provided over Easter on behalf of the farm, and Butcher Hill Community Food Pantry.

A spokesperson for Kirkstall Valley Farm said: "It's not just the cost of replacing these things - although that's bad enough - it's the volunteer time and effort that has gone into making a serviceable kitchen"
