Barclays Premier League stars launch a campaign today to get London’s young unemployed into work. Alan Hutton and Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna joined forces for the first time to help disadvantaged young people through The Prince's Trust Football Initiative. The players will dedicate their time to inspire and motivate participants on a Prince’s Trust 12-week self-development programme, building key workplace skills such as confidence, teamwork and communication. The campaign marks the beginning of a ￡2m Prince’s Trust initiative with the Premier League, Professional Footballers’ Association and the Football Foundation. It aims to help more than 7,000 young people across England move into work or training over the next three years through football. “I've seen lots of young people who aren't in work or education get into a lot of trouble - both back in Glasgow and here in London. The Prince's Trust helps these young people all over the UK, developing their skills for work - and I want to help in anyway I can”, says Alan. Both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have worked with The Trust for over a decade, and the new funding will allow for the clubs to deliver more support through a variety of Trust programmes. Currently, each club motivates participants to complete the programme and gain, in some cases, their very first qualification and skills needed for work. Their involvement includes stadium tours, motivational talks, healthy eating workshops, signed merchandise and player appearances. Bacary Sagna adds: “Arsenal does a lot of work with The Prince's Trust to help young people in London. It’s great to know that just by taking part in a few activities I will help these young people gain life changing skills." HRH The Prince of Wales launched The Prince's Trust Football Initiative at Old Trafford in August 1997. In ten years, more than 11,000 young people have benefited from the support of over 60 football clubs through a long-term partnership with the Premier League, PFA and Football Foundation. ============================================================================== Hutton和隔壁的Sagna一起參加'The Prince's Trust Football Initiative'的活動 這個活動幫助的對象是弱勢青年 這是Hutton的第一次 他們將撥出時間幫助這些青年增進工作能力 期間長達十二週 Prince's Trust的參與者有PFA,FF,FAPL等團體 資金有兩百萬 為期三年 Hutton說: " 我看到很多青年都是NEET 造成不少麻煩 Glasgow,London都一樣 The Prince's Trust幫助全英國這樣的青年 增加他們的工作能力 我要盡全力參與 " 過去我們兩家俱樂部也跟The Trust有合作 新的基金讓俱樂部能更直接支援 http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/7575-6.jpg ( 非常不適應 XDDD ) -- 北方兒真性情! -- 問世間 防守阿~~~ 空笑夢 一直被進~~~ --
