Flint Family Fund 2022

The Flint Family Fund invests in activities that support children and young people in Leeds. Activities can either improve numeracy and literacy skills or use sport and movement projects to increase levels of physical activity, improve mental health and wellbeing, confidence and increase aspirations. 

In January 2023, 8 grants were made, investing a total of £75,000 in Community Organisations in Leeds. 

The funded organisations are: 

• • • • Community Leeds After School Study Support

      • Kidz Klub 
      • Pingpong4u 
      • Reestablish 

• • • • St Luke’s Cares 
      • That Name Woman 

The funded activities include: 

• • • • Improving quality, increasing participation and ensuring sustainability for football and mountain bike sessions. 

• • • • A programme of activities supporting young dads, or dads of young children, to get active and have fun with their children. 
      • Helping pupils who are presenting with challenging behaviour, or requiring additional support, to remain in mainstream schooling. 
      • A series of confidence-building and self-esteem workshops and physical exercise sessions for young people from Black, Asian and other minoritised ethnic communities. 

These organisations join the 21 previously funded through the Flint Family Fund since 2020. So far, the programme has benefited almost 1,500 people.
