"Congratulations and thanks to all the stakeholders who delivered this key community asset including the Leafair Community Association the Social Investment Fund board, local sports clubs and local residents."

The Leafair Well-Being Village was delivered by Derry City and Strabane District Council and the Leafair Community Association with supporting funding from the Social Investment Fund (SIF).

It is one of three projects supported by the Social Investment Fund under the Playing Pitch projects. The other two are the Ryan McBride Stadium and the GAA pitch at the Corrody Road.
