Mission Statement
“As a council with an ambition to be the Best City for Health and Wellbeing and the most Active Big City, we want to encourage greater sport participation as well as more active lifestyle for everyone in Leeds. “We are aware of the significant impact an increased active lifestyle can have on people’ in the city, not only benefitting their physical health, but can also have a positive effect on their mental wellbeing. “I welcome the important work groups like the LGBT Hub and Yorkshire Terriers are currently doing in breaking down barriers to participation, supporting and encouraging everyone to live more active lifestyles. Support from groups in raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity and sports is clearly important, playing a key role in helping the city to achieve its health and wellbeing ambitions”.
