What we do
We use the values of Rugby Union as a vehicle for developing skills and opportunities for future employment.
Using a structured Theory of Change through: Developing Life Skills, Raising Aspirations, Improving Physical and Mental Wellbeing, we build the employability of young people.
With this groundwork, we link young people with tailored Career Taster and Work Experience opportunities to build fulfilling career aspirations.
