Music House is thrilled to have been recognised at this year’s Leeds Compassionate City Awards, which celebrate the individuals and organisations making a real difference across Leeds. Taking place on Thursday 6 November, the awards shine a light on the everyday work of people and community groups who make the city a better place to live, work and visit.
We were amazed to have been nominated for Community Organisation or Project of the Year and even prouder that our very talented Creative Director, Christella Litras was also shortlisted for an individual award.
The event took place on Thursday 6 November 2025. We are overjoyed to announce that Music House is ‘highly commended’ in the category Community Organisation or Project of the Year.
“This award is such an honour,” said Sheila Rani Sispal, Marketing and Communications. “It reflects the hard work, passion and creativity of everyone at Music House, and the amazing support we receive from our community. We are proud to be part of a city that values compassion and creativity.”
Christella Litras said, “I’m incredibly inspired by our team and the young people we work with every day. Being recognised in this way is a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do, and it inspires us to keep growing and supporting our community through music.”
