This was our eighth breakfast meeting, and another at maximum capacity, with over 100 people in attendance from over 75 organisations. Many of these organisations were having their first experience of an LLA event, expanding the network and connections that can be made at these meetings.

Our speakers for this event were Leeds City Council Director of Children and Families Julie Longworth (second from left) and University of Leeds Chair and Pro-Chancellor Alastair Da Costa (right).

Both speakers shared their personal journeys, reflecting on how their experiences shape their work. These fascinating talks are available to watch on the LLA Members’ Zone.
