Story

The Leeds Funds Together we can make a bigger difference.   Leeds Breaking the Cycle Fund LCF is proud of the work we do with “gritty groups” that are addressing challenging social issues. Breaking the Cycle mean preventing or diverting people away from harmful lifestyles, which could include drug and alcohol abuse, prostitution and homelessness. Programs working in these areas usually focus on building trust, improving safety, and helping those at risk to develop new life skills and have wider choices.   By donating today, you could help to: o   Sustain the work of local community groups working with “street-workers”, or prostitutes, helping them to re-engage with society. o   Fund outreach programmes in local communities where drug and alcohol is a significant challenge. o   Support a lunch kitchen or soup van that connects homeless people with those who care and can help them make a new start. o   Support a development and leadership course aimed at young people who are at risk of leading harmful lifestyles (drug & alcohol abuse, self-harm and prostitution).   Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the Leeds Community Foundation and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. Together we can make a bigger difference.
