The Tribune Trust is pleased to be able to support Friends of Pelican Park to run a sports leadership project for local people. The project is aimed at young people aged 16-25 years from the local area. The project consists of a 12 week accredited sports leadership course for up to 25 young people. The course will be advertised in local youth clubs and in local secondary schools. Once participants have passed the course they will be given the opportunity to gain coaching experience at Pelican Park. It is hoped that participants will then go on to find suitable employment in sports leadership and sports coaching in the local area.
