About Us

WELCOME

The Hunslet Club is a not-for-profit youth organisation and registered charity with over 3,450 members. Our top priority is to serve as a safe place for young people in and around Leeds. Furthermore we always strive to ensure they are able to reach their full potential, despite financial circumstances. We do this by providing a wide range of sessions, including dance, sports, youth workshops/intervention and various educational courses.

Founded in 1940, our experience working with young people is long standing, and the sense of community in our club is like no other. Our activities range from Rugby and Football, to Gymnastics and Ballet and much more. Newcomers are always welcome, so don’t hesitate to join in or come along to a session. Our youth club also gives young people a safe place to socialise, relax and most importantly, have fun.
