Leaders
Leaders are an award winning community group, who are deeply rooted with our local communities, connecting children and young people to healthy recreational activities delivered by instructors who work with global brands, in an effort to help them overcome inequalities with disadvantages in society they normally face which have now been exacerbated during the pandemic. Leaders aim is to re-engage our children, young people and adults back to the cycle of physical activity, exercise and socialisation that comes through participation.
