Leeds Rugby Foundation, Irwin Mitchell Solicitors and the 40 youngsters who are set to take part in the hugely inspiring Outward Pursuit Scheme for 2014 now just have one week to wait.
This year's trip will take place in Woolley Edge, Wakefield from Monday 25th August until Friday 29thAugust and 40 teenagers from Community Clubs in the Leeds and District area will get the chance to experience a host of outdoor activities such as jetty jumping, kayaking, rock climbing, team building exercises, blindfold games, touch rugby and much more.
The programme is organised and run by Leeds Rugby Foundation, but it can only happen due to our generous sponsors Irwin Mitchell LLP as well as Geoff and Gill Caplan.
The Outward Pursuit aims to help young people realise their true potential through reflecting on and learning from adventurous experiences in the wild. The scheme offers experiences to young people who may not have been offered these opportunities otherwise, in a bid to raise confidence, self-esteem and give them the chance to try something new. The hope is they will be proud of their achievements and will go on to see clearly what they might truly be capable of achieving in life.
As well as sponsoring the event, Irwin Mitchell are also pleased to continue to offer an industry day to the participants, which they host at their offices in Leeds city centre during the October half term.
As well as learning life skills such as managing their money and CV writing, it is a great opportunity for the group to meet up with the friends they made on the course.
