Foundation to run sports clubs for disadvantaged children in Harrogate
The Sporting Influence Foundation is raising money to help disadvantaged youngsters in the Harrogate district attend sports clubs during school holidays.
Classes will take place at Harrogate Ladies College during the Easter break to develop young people’s sporting, teamwork and social skills.
Children will be able to choose five activities, ranging from swimming and tennis to football and dodgeball. At the end of the day, there will be a presentation of social skills wristbands.
The foundation is a community interest company that uses sport and exercise to tackle social inequalities. Its crowdfunder for this initiative, known as The Together Project, hopes to raise £1,500 to help pay for classes. If that target is reached, Sport England will donate £750.
Perks for donating include a year's supply of Yorkshire Tea.
