DJURTUS UNITED CIC’s activities during the financial year focused on supporting children, young people, and local communities through sports, recreation, cultural education, and community engagement activities in Leeds, particularly within underserved communities. During the financial year, the company delivered regular football and outdoor recreational activities for children and young people, helping to improve physical health, confidence, teamwork, discipline, and social inclusion. The activities created safe and positive spaces for young people to engage in constructive programmes, reducing social isolation and encouraging healthy lifestyles. The company also organised community-based activities that promoted cultural awareness, inclusion, and social cohesion among families from diverse backgrounds. Through storytelling, mentoring, and community engagement sessions, participants were encouraged to develop communication skills, leadership abilities, and stronger connections within their local community. The company’s activities particularly benefited children and young people from low-income and migrant backgrounds who may otherwise have limited access to structured sports and recreational opportunities. Parents and community members were also positively impacted through increased community participation and opportunities to volunteer and support local initiatives. In addition, the company worked with volunteers, coaches, and community partners to strengthen local engagement and provide positive role models for young people. The company’s activities contributed to community wellbeing by encouraging participation, inclusion, and personal development through sport and recreational education.

The company consulted with stakeholders including children and young people participating in activities, parents and carers, volunteers, coaches, local residents, and community partners. Consultation took place through regular discussions during activities, feedback from parents and participants, community meetings, and informal surveys. Stakeholders shared their views on the types of activities needed, accessibility, participation barriers, and the positive impact of the programmes on young people and the wider community. Following feedback received, the company took steps to improve and expand its activities by increasing opportunities for sports and recreational participation, promoting inclusion for children and young people from diverse backgrounds, and strengthening community engagement.
