August 2024: Funded by Sport England’s Movement Fund, SLF provided a valuable summer camp to Black Country students for 2 weeks during the latter half of the summer holidays.

More than forty 11-16 year old boys and girls from Shireland Collegiate Academy joined SLF coaches for multisport sessions which included tennis, football and cricket for 3 hours per day Monday to Friday in August.

Once again, data received from the fortnight was positive, with 90% of young people wanting to do more and longer sessions and remarking on the kindness and encouragement shown by SLF coaches.

Due to Shireland Collegiate kindly providing their school premises free of charge, SLF has arranged with Sport England to run another coaching programme Building Character through Sport as an after-school club at Shireland Collegiate for 16 weeks in 2025.
