WELCOME TO
FEEL GOOD FACTOR

Feel Good Factor (FGF) supports people to improve their health and wellbeing. Based in Chapeltown, we work with communities all across Leeds providing activities, projects and services to improve access to health opportunities for some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

We believe it is our duty to actively promote equal rights and equal opportunities. We have been supporting, celebrating and giving a voice to Black people of all ages for over 17 years in Leeds and will continue to work towards a future where everyone is seen, heard and supported. We will continue to challenge ourselves to remain strong advocates of our Black Communities and other BAME communities, we will continue to raise awareness and support greater understanding of discriminatory practice and do everything we can to bring about positive change.
