Supporting youth work in our community – spring/summer 2025

We know how important it is for young people to have safe spaces, trusted adults to talk to, and positive opportunities outside school. That’s why we continue to make it a priority to fund and support youth work here in Weetwood and across the inner north west.

This spring and summer, local youth work is offering:

• ⚽ Football with Leeds United Foundation

• 🧠 Life skills and issue-based youth groups

• 📘 Exam stress support

• 💬 Safe spaces to socialise and be heard
