Give it a Go Sports Day, organised by Child Friendly Leeds, brought together partners, schools and young people with SEND to try a wide range of inclusive sports and activities across the city. Delivered with Leeds Trinity University, Leeds United Foundation, Yorkshire Cricket Foundation, PE Partner, Breeze and Active Leeds.

Celebrating our partnership with the University of Leeds at Nexus, hosting a Third Sector Workshop and Festive Networking Event. The event brought together ambassadors and partners to strengthen collaboration for children and young people, supporting Leeds’ ambition to be the best city to grow up in.

The 2025 season of giving was our biggest and most ambitious to date, and it simply would not have been possible without the organisations, businesses, and individuals who stepped forward to support children and young people across Leeds. Because of you, thousands of children and young people felt valued, included, and supported at a time when many families were facing real challenges.

Written by the NSPCC, this article celebrates the working relationship between the NSPCC and Child Friendly Leeds, and the mutual support that has led to hugely positive work across the city.

Throughout 2024, Child Friendly Leeds have continued to worked closely with ambassadors to provide experiences, opportunities and tickets for children and families who may not otherwise have had access to these.

From 300 nominations to 36 shortlisted – let’s take a look at those people, places or organisations who make up the shortlist for the Child Friendly Leeds 2024 Awards.
