Leeds City Council is excited to introduce our newly refreshed Leeds Ambitions: Healthy – Growing – Thriving – Resilient. The Leeds Ambitions provide a strategic framework/roadmap to guide our city’s future and achieve our core mission of tackling poverty and inequality.

Our four ambitions are the priorities we’ve set to achieve this mission, grounded in what we’ve learned from our communities and partners. Through working with organisations, communities and people across the city as part of Team Leeds, our four ambitions allow us to align our collective efforts and unlock the added value of our partnerships, ensuring we can accelerate progress and really maximise our impact in the city.

Healthy: Health and Wellbeing Leeds will be a healthy and caring city for everyone: where together we create the conditions for healthier lives so people who are the poorest improve their health the fastest, and everyone is supported to thrive from early years to later life.

Growing: Inclusive Growth Leeds will be a place where we reduce poverty and inequality by creating growth in our economy that works for everyone, where everyone gets a great education, businesses can find the talent they need to start, innovate and grow and innovate, investment is increasing and together we are
delivering an inclusive, healthier and more sustainable future.

Thriving: Strong Communities Leeds will be a welcoming, safe and clean city where people have the power to make the changes that are important to them, with cohesive and united neighbourhoods where people are living healthier lives and enjoying the city’s vibrant social, cultural and sporting offer.

Resilient: Sustainable City Leeds will be the UK’s first net zero and nature positive city in the UK, rapidly reducing carbon emissions and restoring nature, a place that supports people and businesses to make increasingly sustainable choices that improve their standard of living while creating a regenerative
thriving city.

The Leeds Ambitions are a shared commitment, owned and driven by organisations and people across the city, with the core mission to tackle poverty and inequality, enabling Leeds to reach its full potential – for everyone living, working, studying or visiting , it really is the best city. Team Leeds brings every organisation together, to share resources, time, and expertise to ensure every investment goes as far as possible. The four ambitions of Health and Wellbeing, Inclusive Growth, Strong Communities and Sustainable City provide the city with a roadmap for success. Find out more at www.leedsambitions.co.uk
