Leicester Tigers have teamed up with the Prince's Trust to launch a new education programme with the aim of helping young people change their lives.

Tigers are recruiting for our Get Started With Sport taster session. Get Started With Sport is a sports-driven programme open to unemployed 16 to 25-year-olds. The taster session will be held at Welford Road on Thursday, August 2 from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

The full programme kicks off on August 6 and will run for five days until August 10. It will give participants the chance to:

- Work with a professional rugby club

- Obtain new skills and qualifications including an Aim Award Level 1 in Health and Nutrition worth three credits and a first aid qualification

- Meet new people and have fun

- Get up to three months support to find a training course or job afterwards

Places on the course are limited and anyone interested in taking part is urged to book early. For more information contact a member of the Tigers Education Team on 0116 217 1221 or email [email protected]

Tigers Education centre is supported by the Matt Hampson Foundation.
