Chapeltown Youth Development Centre is a charity founded to support under privileged people of the local community, an environment related to struggles with high gang crime and low wealth.

 

CFYDC provides activities and projects, distinct in their strategy but joined in their objective. Activities include football, music and yoga, connecting the community by socialising through sports & exercise. Projects involve, among others, Lets Eat Food Bank Project and G.A.N.G Tackle IT, two initiatives providing free food parcels and gang crime prevention respectively. All projects aim to support the community.

 

 

The CFYDC charity caters for young people and adults regardless of background, race, religion, ethnicity or gender. The centre is open to all regardless of ability or disability. It supports children from all over Leeds but in particular, those from inner-city, North & North-East Leeds.
