I thought you would be interested to hear first hand how the Glasgow Hawks Sports Trust community programme is working to the benefit of children and rugby in general and so please find below a letter we received this week from one of Glasgow's Active Schools Co-ordinators who works alongside Grant Talbot, our Club Development Manager.

With football so dominant in the West of Scotland, it is encouraging to hear Hawks are making a difference. If you would like to know more about our community initiatives or would like to see the schools programme in action, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Dear Glasgow Hawks,

Now that another school year has come to an end, I thought I would take the opportunity to write and thank the Hawks on behalf of the St Thomas Aquinas Learning Community for all the wonderful work the Glasgow Hawks and Grant have done within the schools over the past year.

For two years now you have brought rugby to hundreds of children across the schools giving nearly all of them the chance to experience it for the very first time. Not only have they been introduced to the game, but it has been done in a fun way with Grant really managing to excite the children, and you can see the enthusiasm on the children’s faces after the session’s have finished.

Be it the curricular sessions, the festivals, or the after school clubs these have all been wonderful opportunities for our children and I would consider the School/Club link that the learning community have the Hawks to be our most valued sporting partnership.

I look forward to a continued relationship with the Hawks, and hopefully getting even more children involved in Rugby.

Andy Young
Active Schools Coordinator
