By joining the hundreds of others who are already supporting Child Friendly Leeds you’ll access benefits that keep growing and changing lives.​

We believe that if we invest in supporting children, young people and their families now, we will see immediate and longer-term social and economic benefits for the whole city. While we're proud of our progress, we know there is always more to do. We invite you to play your part and make a real difference to children, young people and their families in the city.​​​
