Leeds Community Foundation

Organisation Aims and Activities: Leeds Community Foundation connects people who want to make a real difference to our city. 23% of our young people live in poverty. Those living in some inner city areas live 10 years less than their wealthier neighbours. 15,000 of our residents over 60 years of age are intensely lonely, often having no human contact from week to week. Thousands of charities and voluntary groups across the city work tirelessly to address these inequalities and help their communities. Leeds Community Foundation invests in these groups to support Leeds, now and in the future. We do this by distributing grants, convening debates, sharing advice: we are a catalyst for positive change in Leeds. In 2015 we distributed ?3.6m in grants to over 400 groups, who in turn helped over 24,000 people. Leeds Community Foundation relies on the generosity of businesses and individuals who care about their city; who want to ?give something back?. Together we aim to create a city of opportunity for all.
