Leeds Space Network (SPACE)

Leeds Space Network is a Christian youth organisation working in Leeds with 11-18 year olds from the inner-city areas. It runs weekly groups which provide consistent support and opportunities for young people in every aspect of their lives, including faith.

Space groups empower young people to make the best choices towards a better future and are focussed on the all-round development of these young people, proactively nurturing their social, personal, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Space groups are led by volunteers who represent a variety churches and christian communities from across Leeds. Over 80 young people attend the Space groups each week. Some of these young people are also involved in smaller groups which allow them to explore other issues in greater depth.

Alongside the weekly groups, leaders regularly carry out home visits to strengthen relationships with young people and their families. In addition to weekly meetings, regular trips and residential opportunities are organised.
