THE TEAM IS PRESSING AHEAD WITH ITS PLANS FOR ANOTHER BIG YEAR

With a new year approaching, the Leicester Tigers Foundation is looking to grow and develop in order to offer much-needed support to the most disadvantaged people within Leicestershire and beyond.

This has been a tough year for everyone, and the Foundation has had to cope without many of its main fund-raising events and seeing its delivery affected, while also still trying to make a difference.

The Foundation is proud that it has been able to maintain its educational provisions in both the pre16 Dynamite project and post-16 HITZ programme.

A committed effort from the whole team ensured that all of our students achieved the support required to succeed in qualifications in English and Maths, alongside sports and employability skills.

The Foundation’s educational programmes will continue to reach out and support groups of young people, both at the stadium at Mattioli Woods Welford Road and in schools across our county.

Now, with the announced changes to Covid restrictions and the start of changes in response to the pandemic, the Foundation is using its time to plan a route back to providing inspirational activities and events during the next 12 months, and we hope to start making announcements of what is in store very soon.

One of our first projects is the launch of an exciting new ebay page which will feature some great memorabilia for enthusiasts, so keep an eye out for details of an opening auction launch featuring numerous unique and collectable items.

The Foundation’s heritage monument outside the main reception at the stadium is another ongoing project and will provide a fantastic tribute to the fallen.
