Welcome to Chapel FM
This is the website for Chapel FM—the first-ever arts centre in East Leeds. You will be able to find everything you need to know about what is going on in the Centre; about how you can get involved and be part of it; and how you can listen and watch all the programming from our community radio station, East Leeds FM.

I’ve been lucky in this life to have opportunities that accommodate my disability, and this programme was no different. This time though, I actually felt safe enough in myself to leave those worries at the door and participate as me. A HUGE thank you for making the weekend possible, for making it so accessible, the support – before and during and for the homestay.
