INTRODUCTION

Summary

Established in 2005 we have grown to become a well-respected charity delivering projects in the heart of communities that provide opportunities, raise aspirations and enable people to be the best they can be.

The purpose of Leeds Rhinos Foundation is to change lives through the power of sport.

Our Best Foundation Ambition document sets out our strategic ambition, our values and who we are. It describes our approaches to achieve our purpose, including assessing progress and impact. Crucially, it is illustrated with quotes, testimonials and images that help tell our story of changing lives through the power of sport as evidence of delivery that gives us confidence in the future.

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”

Nelson Mandela, 2000

Everyone involved with the Foundation strives to embody these inspiring words daily, using the power of sport to change lives.

“My son has been involved with the learning disability super league team run by the Foundation for 6 years. He has grown in confidence beyond my wildest expectations, made new friends and developed his independence considerably. He really feels a part of the Rhinos family, and what a wonderfully inclusive family it is!”

Sharon Woodham, mother of Mitch Woodham, 26 years old.
