Established in 2005 with the purpose of using the power of sport, particularly rugby league to change the lives of children, young people and their families, we have grown to become one of the most pioneering sports charities in the UK, winning multiple awards for our ground-breaking sports, health, community and education programmes.

Our passionate, dedicated and highly skilled team includes formal educators, health workers, highly skilled coaches, adult learning officers, volunteers and administrative staff based at offices and classrooms within the Leeds Rugby Academy and Headingley Carnegie Stadium.

Whilst we are linked to Leeds Rhinos, we are structurally and financially independent of the rugby league club, meaning we are responsible for fundraising almost one million pounds every year to run our life-changing programmes.

Our mission is simple: To Change Lives Through Sport in the city of Leeds and beyond, harnessing the power of sport to deliver projects at the heart of communities to make a positive, sustained and lasting difference. We utilise the power that the Leeds Rhinos brand and sport has in West Yorkshire to engage people in a way which other organisations can’t. It’s then the work of our programmes and excellent staff which makes the real difference. The cross section of people we work with is unparalleled within our community; those we work with vary in age from Early Years to 80 years plus. We truly do offer something for everyone, with programmes impacting health, behaviour, attitude, skills, knowledge and more.

Leading Estate Agency with 17 conveniently placed branches together with 5 specialist departments across the region. Each is easy to locate with nearby parking and offers a comfortable, modern environment for buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants alike.
