£42,279 has been awarded to Ulster Rugby by The Executive Office through the Central Good Relations Funding Scheme 2016/17.
The programme entitled ‘Inclusive Rugby’ is a schools twinning good relations project involving 40 mainstream schools from the extended schools programme (Key Stage 3 age group) and 20 Special Educational Needs schools.
Activities will include joint good relations workshops and tours of The Nevin Spence Education Centre, followed by values based rugby at the schools, culminating in celebration events at local clubs. The project is due to commence at the end of October 2016 and finish in March 2017, with the aim of improving relations, trust and respect across the religious divide through a rugby lens.
All programmes include a trip to Kingspan Stadium and an element of rugby coaching held at a local venue. Transport and lunch are included.
