The Inspire Football project, a scheme ran by Hammersmith & Fulham Council's School Sports Partnership (SSP) and Queens Park Rangers Football Club, was launched in February with the intention of helping 24 15 and 16 year-old boys from Burlington Danes Academy who have poor attendance records and struggle in punctuality and attention to learning in English, Maths and Science.
The scheme saw coaches from QPR train the youngsters from 7am to 8am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays over a ten week period. In return, the pupils received a free healthy breakfast before attending their 8.30am lessons. Weekly targets were set for the teenagers and those who met them received free tickets to QPR home games.
Quality stuff. Makes me proud see the team I love doing some great community work.
