The Tigers Foundation set up the Challenge primarily to engage with the #TigersFamily around the world while also encouraging supporters to get active and also raising awareness and funds for social inclusion projects including Dynamite and HITZ.
These project have helped to educate and mentor hundreds of the most disadvantaged young people within Leicestershire over the last eight years with Foundation staff working to offer opportunities and qualifications alongside vital life skills and offering young people a kickstart to a brighter future.
Supporters of the Foundation really can make a huge difference in significantly changing the lives of young people. To find out more, read one young man's journey on the HITZ programme.
