The Leeds United Foundation is the official charity for Leeds United Football Club. Part of the Leeds family, the charity aims to use the power of sport to educate, motivate, inspire and support people throughout the local Leeds community - a catalyst to improve people’s lives. There is a fantastic group of staff that work tirelessly on the programmes, helping to change and positively impact lives.

Over the past year, 69,984 participants have been involved in our twenty-five different programmes – providing more than 500,000 hours of activity. Just over half of our activity focuses on sports and participation for all; disabled football, walking football, grassroots youth teams, our elite girl’s academy and the school holiday activities we run across Leeds. The Foundation spends over a quarter of their time in Primary and Secondary schools – supporting with education, attendance, employability and of course physical activity. Further programmes include a range of health and wellbeing activities and projects for both children and adults in and around the Leeds area.

This is only possible through the generosity and the thoughtful fundraising and contributions from people like you.

Your donations will help us in many ways:

➢ £25 could pay for a child from a disadvantaged family to attend a 1-day soccer camp in the school holidays.

➢ £50 could pay for a participant to attend a Skill Centre or Girls Development centre for 1 block.

➢ £100 could pay for 30 children from disadvantaged backgrounds to take part in 3 x 2-hour Premier League Kicks sessions or help provide breakfast for the 3 secondary school hubs for 2 weeks each containing 10 students.

➢ £150 could enable a talented female footballer to progress onto an Elite Talent Programme to further develop as a player.

➢ £300 could enable us to deliver 10 assemblies in 10 schools to support vital needs such as mental health support or anti-discrimination education.

➢ £500 could pay for 50 students to attend half term club at Elland Road, including stadium tour and LUFC goodies along with a day of activities.

➢ £1000 could pay for one school to visit Elland Road and for us to deliver a whole days Primary Choices event.

Many thanks for your participation and generosity
