The club was formed to keep young people off the streets during one of the biggest crises in history - the Second World War.

Our Saving Lives After Lockdown campaign is looking at ways to prevent an upsurge in knife crime post-lockdown, highlighting the tireless work of community groups to provide diversionary activities in Leeds

Lockdown has had a huge impact on young people who have been isolated from their friends.

But the work of the Hunslet Club means that those who are at risk of needing additional support can form those positive relationships that can be life-changing.

And we’re so thankful to have organisations like the Hunslet Club in our city for supporting our young people when they need help the most.
