The Leeds United Foundation welcomed pupils from Outwood Academy Hemsworth for a special art workshop event at the Premier League club’s football stadium.

Positive Choices, which took place at Leeds’ Elland Road ground, encouraged year eight students to understand what it means to make the right choices at the right times.

The event featured a variety of workshops from guest speakers and allowed students to get creative and contribute to a new art display.
