Testimonials
Here’s what our ambassadors say:
I just wanted to say thank you for thinking of us as part of this. The staff were in tears with the kindness of the gifts knowing how much of a difference they would make for children and young people, not that we want staff crying
but for all the right reasons! Genuine thanks.
Helen Hart, CEO
We have enjoyed playing our part as a CFL ambassador throughout 2023 and continuing to deliver fantastic success for families in Leeds together with the CFL team through projects such as the Leeds Jurassic Trail 3 and once again encompassing
the Healthy Holidays scheme. We look forward to achieving more through our excellent partnership.
Martin Dickson, Director of Brand & Innovation
Leeds BID
Being a school on the outskirts of Leeds can sometimes mean we are disconnected from what our city has to offer. It is great we have Child Friendly Leeds that helps connect our pupils and schools together.”
Mark Cahill, Headteacher
Swillington Primary School
