As part of the enfinium community funding programme, we support a range of local registered charities, schools, places of learning, and non-profit organisations. Below are some recent examples from our Skelton Grange site.
Pupils at Meadowfield Primary School in Halton Moor are in the process of rewilding their school meadow thanks to a grant from enfinium.
We are extremely grateful to enfinium for awarding this grant to our school. We can see our lovely meadow coming back to life and this has already had a significant and positive impact upon pupil wellbeing. Our children are immensely proud of all they have achieved so far in their efforts towards recycling and reducing waste. They are committed to continue creating a sustainable future for their community and future generations. This funding is enabling us to create a wild, beautiful and inspiring outdoor space for them to enjoy and learn from.

The Big Bike Fix in Leeds – a charity which gives used bikes a new lease of life before gifting them to those who need them most – has renovated its workshop, thanks to a grant from enfinium.
Since launching in June 2020, the Big Bike Fix has refurbished over 1,100 bicycles and donated them back to the local community. The scheme enables people in low-income households and communities to access active travel for free, in turn contributing towards improved wellbeing and better air quality in the area.
Funding from enfinium has enabled the club to buy four sets of oars for a quad rowing boat.
This will allow many young people to take part in a sport that would otherwise not be accessible to them. Those that are unable to swim will also be provided with swimming lessons as part of the club’s development programme and junior rowers will have the opportunity to train for competitions that take place across the country and throughout the year, representing the city of Leeds at a national level.
We are extremely grateful to enfinium for awarding this grant to our club. Quad rowing is how most young people start their rowing journey, so it’s an important area for us. Purchasing these new oars means we will now be able to help even more youngsters from across Leeds access our sport. We row past the enfinium Skelton Grange site, so this funding really is supporting the local community.
