It’s the final week of fundraising for the Hull FC Community Foundation’s ‘Tackling Challenges’ scheme – part of the Aviva Community Fund, aiming to raise funds to help continue supporting the most vulnerable young people across the city.
The ‘Tackling Challenges’ initiative aims to raise vital funds to enable the Hull FC Community Foundation maintain key services that support some of the most vulnerable young people growing up in Hull today, with final donations being accepted on Wednesday 15th July.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have a significant impact on the way the Hull FC Community Foundation delivers its services to young people in the future. But despite the challenges, the Foundation views this as an opportunity to reach more young people who require support with their mental health at this time.
Funding raised through the ‘Tackling Challenges’ initiative will support the Foundation to invest in a new online delivery programme which will support young people to access health and education support safely from their homes.
‘Tackling Challenges’ will deliver daily mentoring, employability, and mental resilience sessions through online channels that can be accessed by the young people during periods of lockdown, self-isolation, or when physical delivery sessions are at full capacity.
The Foundation use the power of rugby league and the strong local influence of Hull FC to make a difference to the lives of over 20,000 participants each years, targeting four key agendas: Participation, Education, Health and Social Inclusion.
With the mission of improving the health and wellbeing of children, young people and adults through participation in sports and physical activity, the Foundation aim to raise the aspirations and skills of young people through our bespoke learning and training programmes, with a team of passionate, hard-working community coaches support over 20,000 participants each year in projects that reach all corners of the East Yorkshire region.
