What an amazing morning at the LLA Breakfast, hosted at CATCH!

Our wonderful llamas were on greeting duty, giving guests a warm and memorable welcome before a fantastic morning of networking, conversation, and connection.

It was inspiring to see so many like-minded individuals come together with a shared purpose and vision.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who worked behind the scenes preparing the evening before and being up early to ensure everything ran smoothly. Your dedication and hard work played a huge part in making the event such a success.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Here’s to building connections, supporting one another, and creating even more opportunities together.

A huge thank you to Street Games and Matchroom Boxing for giving our young people the opportunity to attend an incredible boxing event. 🥊✨

This experience meant the world to them. Not only did they get to meet some amazing people, but they also saw firsthand where dedication, discipline and hard work can take you.

We left feeling inspired, motivated and even more passionate about sport. In fact, two of our young people have now said they want to become boxers, while another is dreaming of becoming a sports commentator!

Experiences like this can have a lasting impact, opening eyes to new possibilities and helping young people believe in themselves and their future.

Thank you for making such a difference.

Today, several of our volunteers took on the Leeds 10K, and we were fortunate enough to bring some of our younger volunteers along to cheer them on at the finish line.

While the race itself was a fantastic achievement, the day was about much more than crossing a finish line. It was an opportunity for our young people to experience something new, step outside their comfort zones, and build confidence in unfamiliar environments.

We also travelled using public transport, helping to develop independence, responsibility, and practical life skills that will support them long into the future.

A huge well done to everyone who took part in the Leeds 10K, and a special mention to Gordons LLP, who have now raised money for CATCH through their incredible support.

What an amazing away day!

We were so lucky to have staff over from Amazon supporting us on the farm - helping clean the site, w**d the land, and get so much done together.

A truly successful day with incredible teamwork and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who came and got involved!

What a night!

Our youth session was full of joy, laughter, and plenty of friendly competition. Ping pong was a non-stop hit, our young people did an amazing job leading the session, and mini pizzas and chips kept everyone going! 🍕🏓

So good to see everyone having fun, building friendships, and making memories together.

🌟 Support an Amazing Young Fundraiser! 🌟

One of our incredible volunteers, aged just 13, has taken the initiative to raise money for CATCH Leeds to help support a cat sanctuary and provide care for stray cats in our community. 🐱

Her kindness, compassion, and dedication to making a difference at such a young age is truly inspiring.

If you’re able to, please consider supporting her fundraiser. Every donation, no matter the size, helps make a positive impact.

Fish tank clean out, hay delivery, site clean, w**ding out what’s needed, and even a visit from our vet - it’s been a busy holiday! 🌿🐠🐾

So many young people came through with passion, energy, and enthusiasm, and honestly, this is the next generation we want to support. So good seeing everyone getting involved, helping out, and bringing such positive vibes to the space.

Huge thank you to everyone who showed up and supported over the holidays — it means more than you know.

Busy couple of days in the heat ☀️

Our volunteers are putting the animals first with extra welfare checks and lots of care. Looking after animals teaches young people empathy, responsibility, and love 🐾💛

What an amazing session!

We had a wallpaper fashion show that brought out everyone’s creativity, plus competitions happening all around the building.

We also celebrated some birthdays and, to top it all off, one of our young volunteers received his CATCH badge through his dedication, passion, and enthusiasm for CATCH.

Such a fun-filled session with so many proud moments!
