Leeds Initiative

Leeds Initiative, www.leedsinitiative.org, is the city partnership responsible for bringing the public private and voluntary, community and faith sectors together to deliver the Vision for Leeds

Leeds Initiative is the Local Partnership for Leeds.

Best city in the UK, that is the key aim of the Vision for Leeds 2011 to 2030. This means:
 Leeds will be fair, open and welcoming
 Leeds' economy will be prosperous and sustainable
 All Leeds' communities will be successful
Leeds, like other national and international cities is faced with a number of key challenges. The city's population is set to rise to around one million, its economy is still recovering from the effects of global recession and the consequences of a changing climate have become all too apparent.
In addressing these challenges, Leeds must continue to be a forward-looking city and have a clear plan for the future and this is why the Vision for Leeds is important.
In developing the Vision for Leeds the Leeds Initiative led a consultation with Leeds residents who were asked to discuss what their priorities for the city are. Using this feedback and the expertise of key partner organisations, such as the universities and NHS Leeds, Leeds Initiative was able to develop a Vision that is serving the needs and wants of the residents and businesses of Leeds.
