The aim of this new project called Sporting Chance is to use football and the power of the Leeds United brand as an incentive to reduce re-offending rates for male ex-offenders aged between 16 and 25 who have served sentences in Her Majesty's Young Offender Institution (HMYOI) Wetherby and HM Prison Leeds. The project also aims to provide positive pathways for identified 14-16 year-old boys resident in Leeds most at risk from choosing a life of crime.
