Young Ambassadors Charity Walk
Support The Good Shepherd Centre Young Ambassadors
As Young Ambassadors at The Good Shepherd Centre we are taking on an incredible challenge! We will be walking, running, or cycling from Leeds to Keighley along the Canal Road to raise funds for vital initiatives that empower young people in our community.
The money raised will help cover the cost of various training programs designed to upskill our youth. This includes courses in leadership, communication, and digital skills, which will boost their confidence and prepare them for future opportunities. Additionally, the funds will support educational trips and provide essential equipment, enabling young leaders to connect with diverse communities and effectively engage with other organisations. Your support will help us to make a real difference, fostering inclusivity and encouraging active participation from all corners of our community. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal and helps create a brighter future for our youth. Please donate and share this page to support our Young Ambassadors in our mission to create positive change!
