TACKLE
Community
"TACKLE has re-engaged learners, provided bespoke learning opportunities alongside the more 'traditional' curriculum and developed learners' teamwork skills"
TACKLE is a employability program fully funded by National Lottery Community Fund, working with young people aged 12 – 16 in a school setting, to develop soft skills, such as leadership, teamwork, communication & an understanding of opportunities in further education and the workplace. Using rugby as the vehicle to engage, our sessions are fun, informative, positive and resourceful.
