Programme Spotlight: Wildcats
In the first of our monthly programme spotlights we are taking a closer look at Wildcats, the FA-funded programme aimed at engaging girls aged five to 11 in football.
We’re very happy to be launching this new programme that will help people leaving the Armed Forces gain work and get on with their lives, and I’d like to thank Armed Forces Covenant who are making this possible. One of our strengths as an organisation is that we can treat people as individuals and change what we do to suit their needs. This means you’ve got a better chance at succeeding and you don’t waste time working on things that aren’t important to you.
Dave Jeffries, Foundation of Light Skills Lead (Sunderland)The programme will offer a tailored approach to learning meaning that everybody will receive unique support. Foundation of Light are also welcoming enquiries from businesses who would like to support the programme through offering work experience and placement opportunities. Linda Hughes, Foundation of Light Business Liaison Coordinator added: “We already have links with over 200 local businesses but are always keen to hear from others who would like to support the vital work we’re doing to improve the lives of local people.” Employers who would like to support the programme should call 0191 5515041 or email linda.hughes@foundationoflight.co.uk.
