“Being awarded the most inclusive society is such an honour! I worked really hard this year to introduce a new Level 1 team into our society to bring in even more members of different abilities. I am so proud to have captained such an incredible club and I am so proud of all of our coaches and committee for such a successful year.” – Holly, Leeds Celtics Cheerleaders
“I’m so unbelievably proud and grateful that Motorsport received Club of the Year, especially considering how amazing LUU societies are. It really is a culmination of the amazing work the society has done over the last 4-5 years, growing the society into the welcoming and inclusive place it is today. Getting to be President of this bunch of amazing people is the best thing that’s ever happened to me!” – Adam, Leeds Motorsport Society
