South Leeds Life is a community publication with a news website and a newspaper. According to the outlet, the positive things about the local communities of South Leeds' LS10 and LS11 postcodes were missing in the media coverage, so South Leeds Life was founded to bring more balanced reporting about the areas of Beeston, Belle Isle, Cottingley, Holbeck, Hunslet, Middletown, and Stourton.
It has a printed monthly newspaper, distributing 6,000 free copies at pick-up points in local businesses, community centres and organisations, libraries, and schools.
South Leeds Life's aim is to inform people about what is taking place in the South Leeds community, encourage involvement, foster community spirit, and provide a place to contribute.
It has a weekly cultural guide on events happening in the area and shares information about local services and planning applications to the LS10 and LS11 postcode areas of the Leeds City Council website. On the website, the audience can find essential information beyond local news, such as a map of South Leeds organisations, councillors, MPs of the area, and links to valuable sites.
The outlet is run by South Leeds Life CIC, a not-for-profit social enterprise regulated by IMPRESS and an Independent Community News Network (ICNN) member. Its revenue comes from local government grants, advertising, and memberships.
