Story
I will be raising money for the Leeds United Foundation Health and Wellbeing Department. This department delivers sessions such as Dementia and Veterans Cafe's, Care Home sessions and feeding deprived families in Leeds. The key to this delivery is decreasing social isolation and mental health problems.
Any donations would be hugely appreciated for these fantastic and vital programmes!
The Leeds United Foundation uses the power of sport to educate, motivate, inspire and support people throughout the entire Leeds community - a catalyst to improve people’s lives. We have a fantastic group of staff that work tirelessly on our programmes, helping to change and positively impact lives.
Over the past year, 42,943 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. We spend over a quarter of our 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.
