Barclays Spaces for Sports was a huge UK initiative, and now there’s more good news, as this campaign to provide sports venues in deprived areas goes global, first to South Africa and then to the US.
Spaces for Sport provides not only for the building or refurbishment of outdoor sports facilities, it also provides funding for local administrators – to give these new facilities an important boost, especially in the early days of use. So far, new facilities have been provided up and down the UK and the scheme, which is monitored by Manchester University, is already making its presence felt, helping young people to learn important lessons about life, or just to let off steam in an environment which is supportive and challenging at the same time. Wild West has been working on reports and bulletins from the programme, and now has created this advertising, the launch of the transition from a national programme to an international one. This is an amazing piece of community help from one of the world’s leading banks, and shows how the financial business community can help locally and globally. www.barclays.com/community/spacesforsports/
