We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a charity event on Saturday 20th July from 1100 - 1700 to raise money for the School Of Hard Knocks (SoHK) and Cancer Research. What will this entail? A continuous SIX hours of touch rugby for all ages, all genders and all abilities!
Cancer Research is a charity very close to our heart here at Stevenage Town RFC and we know what fantastic work they do. SoHK is also a charity that we would love to support, and if you have never heard of them, here is a little insight in to what they do:
SOHK exists to support individuals who are facing inequality. They enable meaningful change in participants’ lives through:
High Impact Sport:
All of School of Hard Knocks' (SOHK’s) programmes and courses use high-impact sport to physicalise the challenges our participants face. Through the use of high-impact sport, namely rugby, SOHK enables participants to improve confidence, communication skills, commitment, self-control and the ability to work well within a team.
Mentoring:
SOHK’s use of high-impact sport works in tandem with the application of group and one-to-one mentoring. Group sessions allow participants to gain valuable insights from both SOHK facilitators and their peers and gives individuals the opportunity to understand different lived experiences. Each participant is also given one-to-one mentoring with an SOHK specialist to explore personal goals and challenges.
The Power of the Team
SOHK engenders an atmosphere of genuine acceptance which allows long-lasting social bonds to be formed between participants. Our courses and programmes show participants how the individual strengthens the collective and how the collective strengthens the individual; participants are encouraged to maintain their relationships with course-mates once their time at SOHK ends.
Take a look a their webpage to see what amazing work they do. One of our U13's already takes part in the programme and he loves it!
