What fantastic performances from every member of our young team in the table tennis tournament yesterday.

The lads played with skill, commitment and real concentration, taking on some of the best young players in Leeds. With a young player reaching the final of the schools competition, it was definitely a success in the tournament.

What is really important to us at CATCH though was the respect shown by all of our players to the other competitors, the audience and the organisers, not forgetting all those refereeing the games. An exemplary display both on and off the table!

Another fantastic young session filled with laughter, joy, and new friendships 🤍

We had an amazing arts and crafts session with Sammie from the Pieces Project, followed by a delicious meal of chicken masala and rice, and some refreshing homemade lemonade made with our very own homegrown mint 🍋🌿

Our last Healthy Holiday young session is this Saturday — see you all then!

Huge thank you to Giants Live for inviting us to experience the World’s Strongest Man competition!

Our young people had the most incredible time and left inspired - already promising they’ll be back in 10 years competing themselves.

Opportunities like this open doors and give our young people a chance to experience things they might not usually have access to. We’re so grateful—thank you for making it happen!

What an amazing Farm on Wheels day! 🦙☀️

We took our llamas and alpacas to Leeds City College (Quarry Hill), where students had the chance to take them out for a walk and enjoy a beautiful day outdoors. And honestly… who would have expected to see llamas and alpacas right in the middle of town?

This day really showed the power of partnerships — bringing people, education, and experiences together in such a special way.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers from the college, along with our dedicated farm team, for making it all possible! 💚

Even the smallest fish gets the highest level of care 🐟

Today, our volunteers looked after our pond, which was completed as part of our Summer 2025 project. It’s amazing to see how much life it holds now, full of fish and energy.

The pond is cared for daily by our incredible team of volunteers, who make sure everything continues to thrive. A small space, but a big impact!

Another great LLA breakfast! 🥐 ☕️

Bringing together people with the same mindset, the same drive, and the same vision - it’s what makes these mornings so special.

And this photo says it all… our young volunteers then vs now. Four years of growth, confidence, and incredible progress. What an amazing journey it’s been to watch them develop into who they are today.

Proud doesn’t even cover it. 💙
