It has delivered transformative programmes across 7 countries and has a particular focus on under represented communities.  You can find Leigh here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leigh-bowman-perks-82082910/Website: https://inspiringleadership.foundation/May 2026 will also see the Foundation's second "Ride to Inspire" charity cycling event, which aims to raise the profile of the charity still further using sport, leadership and philanthropy to unite communities and celebrate inspiring role models.
