Leeds Children’s Mayor Mason Hicks had a half-term treat yesterday (16 February 2023) after Councillor Andrew Scopes, Lead Member for Child Friendly Leeds and a Trustee of the Leeds United Foundation organised a very special tour of Elland Road Stadium for him.
Mason and Councillor Scopes were given a behind the scenes glimpse of the Club and Mason was presented with his very own personalised Leeds United shirt as a reminder of the day.
Cllr Andrew Scopes (Labour, Beeston and Holbeck) said:
“I was very happy to organise this treat for Mason and want to thank the Leeds United Foundation for ensuring he was well-looked after and for the surprise shirt they gave him.
“Being Leeds Children’s Mayor is a big responsibility and I thought this might be a nice way to thank Mason for the amazing job he is doing as he represents the voice of children and young people in our Child Friendly City.”
