Since becoming a charity, the Trust has gone from employing three staff to a workforce of 17 full time staff, two part time staff and a number of volunteers. This strong and experienced workforce means the Trust is able to work with around 15,000 people each year, yet we are always striving to help more people from more communities.

Our schools’ programme helps to deliver numeracy, healthy eating and character building initiatives to schools alongside our flagship financial education programme, Number Cruncherz.

Eat Well Play Safe To help bring healthy eating messages to local schools, Sharks Community Trust has been working with Cargill, a major local business delivering a six week primary school programme.

Sharks Community Trust’s activities on match days provide the opportunity for thousands of young people each season to experience professional live sport.

Match days at Sale Sharks take place at the AJ Bell Stadium in Salford, and as part of each match, Trust coaches put on a range of activities both pre-match and at half time.

This includes pre-match clinics providing clubs with an opportunity to receive expert coaching on different aspects of the game and ‘Kids First’ Rugby Festivals, creating a safe, fun, non-competitive place for children to play and learn rugby

Clubs and schools also get a chance to take part in small sided Tag on the main pitch at half time in front of thousands of fans, to help create memories to enthuse them to continue their positive participation in sport or physical activity.

The past 12 months has been a hugely successful period for the Sale Sharks’ HITZ programme, expanding its number of centres, delivering new business events and culminating with a number of learners celebrating their achievement at the national HITZ Awards.

In 2015, Sale Sharks opened four new centres in Partington, Rochdale, Leigh and Salford in conjunction with our education partner, YMCA Training. Four new HITZ Officers joined the team working with around 80 new learners, with around 75% of them progressing onto a job, apprenticeship or place at college.

HITZ also established new partnerships with Trafford College, The Manchester College and Newall Green High School, supporting young people in alternative education provision.

Case study: Lacey MarshallLacey had a tough start to life, living in an all-girls hostel after being unable to live at home. She was permanently excluded from two schools but finished the HITZ programme with a Level 2 in English and Maths and a Level 1 Award in Lifestyle Management.

Lacey completed a work placement as part of her programme with Premier Inn before securing a job as a receptionist and duty manager at a city centre hotel.

Her success was recognised at the national HITZ Awards in London where she won the HITZ Champion Award and was also shortlisted for the HITZ Ambassador Award.

HITZ Business BreakfastThe first HITZ Business Breakfast was held in April, bringing together local businesses to learn about HITZ and how they can help by providing learners with work placement opportunities, apprenticeships or employment.

Hosted by the Escalator Club, in central Manchester, in association with Barclays, the event was attended by around 80 people alongside former Sale Sharks and England players, Mark Cueto and Jason Robinson, both keen supporters of the programme.

Celebrating successThe year ended on a high for the HITZ programme, with two learners winning an award at the national HITZ Awards, and a number of other learners being shortlisted, recognising the difference the programme has made to the lives of the young people involved.

Rugby Training Camps

25 CAmPS TOOK PLACEDURIng THE yEAR

2015 saw the largest number of rugby camps put on by the Trust, with 25 camps taking place across the North West including camps at Kendal in the north and Stafford to the south. In total over 1,000 budding young rugby players took part on a camp, with over 100 children attending just one camp alone at Carrington.

OVER 1,000 yOUngPLAyERS TOOK PART

The camps provided an opportunity for participants to improve their skills, based on our strong coaching philosophy focusing on core skills, decision making and games for understanding. Sale Sharks players also volunteered their time to pass on their expert knowledge.

40 SHARKS PLAyERSATTEnDED A CAmP

As well as camps, development days and masterclasses were held to help young people improve in particular areas of the game. This included a bespoke Breakdown Masterclass hosted by former England International and Sharks community coach, Hendre Fourie.

Coach DevelopmentIn addition to encouraging player participation, Community Trust staff, who are part of the RFU education team, are committed to passing on their knowledge to coaches based at local rugby clubs across the region.

To help facilitate this, the Trust established a Coach Engagement Programme, in which members of the coaching team attend coaching workshops around the region. The programme was launched in May, and during the subsequent seven months, around 40 workshops were delivered by Trust coaches working with around 500 local coaches.

Whilst Sale Sharks might have its roots firmly placed in North West England, it also has a reach that travels much further than this, with coaches spending time working with communities in South America.

Try Rugby: Colombia

Sharks community rugby coach, Darren Lamon visited South America in March as part of Try Rugby Colombia, organised by Premiership Rugby.

The aim of the programme was to promote rugby in the area through coaching and education and to use sport as a tool to help engage children at risk. The programme also helped participants to develop English language skills.

Whilst in Colombia, Darren spent the week travelling across the country, visiting six different towns and working with around 650 young people and a further 150 coaches.

“This was an amazing experience, seeing how rugby can make a difference around the world, especially in countries and communities not always associated with the game” Darren Lamon

Try Rugby: VenezuelaFollowing Darren’s visit to Colombia, community coach, Vicky Irwin got the chance to visit Venezuela in October in partnership with Premiership Rugby and the British Council.

The aim of the visit was to increase participation and also to utilise rugby’s culture and core values to initiate health, education and social outcomes.

During Vicky’s five day tour around Venezuela she worked with around 3,000 young people across six schools in three different areas of the country.

“A stand out highlight from the trip for me was visiting Mesuca in the barrio of Caracas, deep in the heart of the most dangerous area of Venezuela, I witnessed first-hand the change that sport can play in society” Vicky Irwin

Our International work

Despite its most successful year to date, Sharks Community Trust is committed to ensuring the organisation continues to develop to help both people and communities whilst helping partners achieve their CSR and engagement objectives.

Topics below are themes that we are looking to expand our work in for 2016.

Enterprise The aim is to develop a new programme looking at enterprise and how businesses function and develop, using a professional rugby club as a focus and model.

Health and wellbeingHealth is a major priority for the nation with increasing obesity rates and the increase in conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. The Trust is keen to develop a programme that addresses nutrition and the benefits of physical activity alongside mental health issues and social isolation, especially amongst the elderly.

Resilience and character The core values of rugby provide the ideal platform to help young people develop resilience and character, particularly at times when they face major changes in their life. The aim of this programme would be to develop a series of workshops for schools, pupil referral units, young offender institutes and youth clubs to help motivate and empower a future generation.

Literacy The Trust currently runs a number of numeracy based programmes but does not currently have a literacy programme. This new programme will focus on sports reporting and journalism where young children will write up mock interviews, match reports and even get a chance to write up an interview with one of Sale Sharks’ players.

Environment Green issues, climate change and sustainability will continue to be a major issue for the country and the Trust would like to develop a programme to raise awareness around this subject amongst young people.

Developing disability rugby The Trust would like to help make rugby and sport accessible to all, so the development of an ‘All Inclusive programme’ for people with disabilities is a priority.

We are always looking for businesses to work with us to develop exciting new programmes. If you would like to discuss how the Trust can help you achieve your CSR objectives, raise your profile in the community or how you can support us, please get in touch.
