LOCAL CHARITY SPORTING EDUCATION RECEIVES START UP INVESTMENT FROM THE VODAFONE FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT WORK WITH YOUNG PEOPLE Sporting Education has received a funding grant of £7,600 from the Vodafone Foundation to help establish a volunteering programme with young people in the Camden area. The new programme will reach eight community projects and involve 150 young people in Camden over the next 12 months.The much needed cash injection will help Sporting Education kick-start the i-Volunteer recruitment programme which aims to engage with young people in the local area and create a movement that will regenerate neighbourhoods and expand the minds and self-limitation of young people.

This is the third year the Vodafone Foundation has overseen such a scheme with last year’s theme of ‘unlocking potential in young people’ continuing in 2009. Since February, charities across North London have submitted requests for funding to their local Vodafone store. Grants were then considered by the Vodafone Foundation trustees to ensure donations would make a positive difference to the lives of young people in the area.Peter Marsh, Vodafone Regional Manager said: “I am delighted that we are able to contribute to Sporting Education and in turn the development of the i-Volunteer project to help young people in the area. It is inspiring to see just what Sporting Education can achieve locally. We all believe our contribution will help make a difference to young people in Camden.”For more information about the Vodafone Foundation visit: www.vodafonefoundation.org.
