Dunbridge Financial and the Mintridge Foundation team up to inspire the next generation with Men’s Rugby Union Star, George Furbank

Together, and to launch their new charity partnership Dunbridge Financial and the Mintridge Foundation are searching for young rugby players aged between the ages of 7 and 18 to receive a visit to their school or club, followed by 6 months of remote mentoring from Northampton Saints & England Rugby’s George Furbank. With two organisations that share a very common goal of nurturing people to develop their mental fitness superpowers, we couldn’t think of a better or more positive way to give people the confidence to move and in turn, the confidence to shine; overcoming life’s challenges along the way.

A Blues Foundation XI will play a Mintridge Foundation XI in a charity cricket match on Friday 26th August at Sharnbrook & Bromham Cricket Club, Lodge Road, Sharnbrook (start time 5:15pm).

The ideal way to begin the Bank Holiday weekend, the two teams, including star studded line-ups (such as Paralympic Champion, Laura Sugar MBE, plus former rugby and cricket players), will battle it out in a T20 fixture aimed at raising vital funds for both charities.

If there is one thing that us as Brits are good at, it is talking about the weather and in the past week, it has been more so than usual…and for very good reason. With the hottest temperatures on record soaring through the country, unfortunately many schools have been forced to make the difficult decision to cancel their sports day as the Manchester Evening News discussed in their recent article.

“How do we make crystal clear goals to help our future?”

There is no hiding the disruption that Covid – 19 has had on education but as reiterated in an article from the Guardian last year, the “now” Year 12 students across the UK have had the most pessimistic view of their learning with young people in these year groups remaining the most anxious. The Mintridge Foundation and the Ferrers School in Northamptonshire are determined for this narrative to change, and with this in mind, former world number 7 badminton player and Commonwealth Bronze Medallist, Liz Cann led a series of workshops to help and support this.
