Empowering People Through Music

Cloth Cat is a music/education charity based in inner city Leeds supporting those at most disadvantage living in neglected parts of the city. Building from the bottom up where support is needed most, music, people, confidence building and empowerment are at the heart of our activities.

We help people to gain control over their lives and find avenues into employment, further education and other positive social activity by providing a range of inclusive and creative projects, courses and events so that people gain the opportunity to learn a range of musical and personal skills.


Coronavirus notice

At Cloth Cat HQ we are following Government and Public Health advice and taking responsible steps to manage the Coronavirus situation safely and responsibly. We have implemented a range of preventative measures based on official advice.

The office will remain closed till Mid March 2021 which means all staff are working remotely from home but do have access to the studios if they need it.

We are slowly moving forward towards face to face group work. GYAT will be back in April with face to face sessions and Man About Town have been meeting each week in the park for walks around Leeds plus much more.

Open Mic will continue via Zoom on a Thursday evening from 7pm and has started meeting at the Park Horse back garden on a Tuesday from 6pm, weather permitting! Our Adult courses are online with new ones starting January 2021.
Stay safe pussycats.
