We are having a midlife crisis and have decided to join in an abseiling event at the Mighty Elland Road stadium, and as a bonus, it also raises money for the Leeds United Foundation.

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.
