Child friendly Leeds

We’re working to bring everyone together to make Leeds a child friendly city – a place where children are valued, supported, enjoy growing up, and look forward to a bright future.

Everyone growing up in Leeds will have a voice and be involved in decisions about their city. We’ve listened to thousands of local children and young people and are working to achieve the things that make the most difference to them.

If we nurture and support our children today we’ll have a better city tomorrow. Everyone in our city can play their part and everyone in our city will benefit from child friendly Leeds.
