£4.6m invested. 390 grants made. 23,000 people supported. That's what we were celebrating when we brought together donors, partners and community organisations to reflect on 10 years of The Leeds Fund at our recent event.

The community sector is under pressure. 7 out of 10 community organisations in Leeds say their top concern is funding sustainability. And the same number are having to consider reducing or even closing some of their services. But really, they're needed now more than ever.

Organisations like SNAPS Yorkshire are there to provide a lifeline, but there's only so much they can do when the need outstrips the resource. That’s why we’ll continue to develop partnerships, invest where it’s needed and do what we can to build a fairer future, together.
