So as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as
individuals and members of society.| |---|---| ||Our original application for charitable status stated:
_We run leadership/life skills programmes using sport (rugby, football_
_and cricket) as the vehicle for the learning and development process._
_We invite volunteers to support the projects and we base our work on_
_local organisations - schools, church, other NGOs - to help with logistics_
_and to ensure lasting impact. In each country we are building a cohort_
_of coaches and facilitators to assist and, eventually, run the_
_programmes._
We visited Calais (France) and Chaldika (Greece) with a view to
supporting refugee children. In Calais we worked wth Care for Calais and
in Greece, with Lighthouse Relief.
In December we visited Sri Lanka ro run a series of the Inspire
progtrammes. In Batticaloa, we ran a two day facilitation training
programme for the Lead to Lead group that we have estaboished there.
Then we ran three, one-day progtrames for a school, an NGO and for the
orphanage.
In Trinconmalee, we ran a half day refresher programme for 5 of last
year’s facilitator cohort and then programmmes at 3 different schools in
and around Trinconmalee.
We then went up into the hill country and the tea plantations to run a
facilitation programme for an LGBTQ group who then supported a school
progtamme near Hatna.
In. September, we made the first contact with a charity supporting
refugees in Lebanon. It is called the Alsama project and they have
recently started playing cricket. There may be an opportunity to help
provide coaches and leadership facilitation training.
In October we visited Nepal again to run a facilitation programme in
Kathmandu and then an Inspire programme for both girls and boys out in
the Kavre village. We continue to have a highly productive relationship
with the Padnma Kanya School and the Laxmi Pratisthan charity. We have
also established a new contact with an entrepreneur in Kathmandu and
this looks very promising.| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: Grant making.
