Aim
The aim of our project is to raise the funding required to a new Padel Court at the Hunslet Club
Who are we?
The Hunslet Club is a not-for-profit youth organisation and registered charity with over 3,450 members. Our top priority is to serve as a safe place for young people in and around Leeds. Furthermore we always strive to ensure they are able to reach their full potential, despite financial circumstances. We do this by providing a wide range of sessions, including dance, sports, youth workshops/intervention and various educational courses.
Founded in 1940, our experience working with young people is long standing, and the sense of community in our club is like no other. Our activities range from Rugby and Football, to Gymnastics and Ballet and much more. Newcomers are always welcome, so don’t hesitate to join in or come along to a session.
Help Us Bring One of the World’s Fastest Growing Sports to South Leeds
We are raising funds to build a brand new padel court at The Hunslet Club, creating an exciting new opportunity for young people and the wider community to get active.
Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. It’s fun, social, easy to learn and suitable for all ages and abilities. By building a court at The Hunslet Club, we will make this exciting sport accessible and affordable for our local community.
With your support, we can bring padel to South Leeds and help hundreds of young people discover a new way to stay active.
