LeckhamptonOnline meets…

Leckhampton is bulging with interesting, talented, quirky and passionate people. It’s nice to stop and meet them every now and then.

LEGLAG‘s Chairman Kit Braunholtz dropped by to talk about their ongoing work to protect Leckhampton’s green areas, and we asked how we can all help.



Duncan Thomas will be going to Tanzania to give away 6000 footballs to disadvantaged children later this year as part of www.theGreatFootballGiveaway.org.uk.

Find out how Leckhampton can help.
