Since inception the Leicester Tigers Foundation has worked extremely hard to expand its engaging delivery for people young and old with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We have focused on increasing the awarenessand challenges faced by individuals with SEND by the support and promotion ofthe Tigers wheelchair rugby team, and the delivery of an engaging physicalactivity programme working with Comic Relief and Premiership Rugby.  The SEND Schools Programme provides a great opportunity for young people and staff within SEND Schools to become a part of the growing Tigers Family.

Testimonies so far:

“The sessions have developed great teamwork and respecttowards staff/students that is shown in all academic lessons”; Maplewell School

“The adaptation was excellent, very well suited to the classneeds”; West Gate School

“The coach took into account the boys needs and regularlyadapted the session, sometimes mid-session to cater for the boy’s needs”;Millgate School

Donations from Global Pay for the 2019 Fundraising event (Autumn Wolfrun) will be credited to this campaign for which the Foundation would like to thank them and all supporters for their support for the SEND programmes the Foundation run within the local community.
