In Partnership With:
The ‘Primary group’ will be offered a 90-minute sport and activity session delivered on a Saturday afternoon. On weekends where there is a Shrewsbury Town match, the children will be offered the opportunity to watch the match. The group will have access to a room to provide a safe environment for children who may need time away from the match and busy crowds.
The ‘Secondary group’ will be offered a 60-minute sport and activity group alongside an adapted version of our volunteer academy programme. The volunteer programme aims to offer an introduction to various roles available at Shrewsbury Town Foundation. The programme consists of three milestones: 25 hours, 50 hours and 100 hours. At each milestone, the volunteer will have the opportunity to gain a certificate or attend in-house CPD (Continued Professional Development) workshops which will be linked to the volunteering being undertaken.
Finally, the ‘Young Adult Group’ will be linked to our emerging Employability strand. The Young People engaged will again participate in the volunteering programme and assist in the delivery of the Primary group. The Young People will also have the opportunity to gain experience of other jobs within the Football Club centred around a matchday this could be assisting staff with the preparation of the pitch, facilities and other activities involved on a matchday.
All of the above groups will have clear progression routes either from one age bracket to the next or to other projects within Shrewsbury Town Foundation.
