Leeds Legacy Programme

The Leeds Legacy programme is a free opportunity for young people to create a lasting legacy across Leeds taking place on 18th and 19th February 2025.

Leeds is hosting a fifth Legacy programme, offering up to 100 young people aged 18-25 in Leeds an opportunity to shape its future.  The Leeds Legacy programme is a leadership development programme delivered by Common Purpose that will challenge a diverse group of 100 young people to think about what their generation’s legacy will be.  

The programme will bring together 18-25 year-olds from across Leeds. This is an exciting opportunity to meet new people and join a community of young leaders who care about making change happen in Leeds.

Throughout this programme, which is free to attend thanks to generous sponsorship from Leeds City Council, RSM UK and the University of Leeds, participants will work together to tackle an important challenge for Leeds. Participants will investigate issues, collaborate, hold difficult conversations and work through ideas. They will then test, refine and present these ideas to local senior leaders. 

The programme will take place in on 18th and 19th February 2025 . People aged 18-25 can apply at: https://commonpurpose.org/legacy/leeds150
