Findel and Ferdinand powering potential in the Northwest
Greater Manchester-based Findel, one of the UK's leading suppliers of resources for schools, sports clubs, and other education establishments, has teamed up via their Findel Foundation with the Rio Ferdinand Foundation, a national charity for youth and community development, to launch a new 'Communities' programme.
The Communities programme will be rolled out across Manchester, Tameside, Oldham, and Salford. Offering young people from Greater Manchester an exciting and progressive three-year programme bursting with skills development opportunities in sport, music, digital, media and technology.
The new Communities programme targets the priorities and needs of our diverse communities, leading positive change for young people in Greater Manchester and throughout the Northwest.
In addition to uniting communities through sport, music and the arts, the programme provides creative accredited training for 100+ young people per year to boost their CVs and raise their aspirations to achieve.

“We are incredibly excited about our partnership with the Rio Ferdinand Foundation, right from our initial conversation it was clear that there were so many synergies between both of our ambitions and overall objectives.
“The communities programme will allow us to support children and young people in and around Greater Manchester to help raise their future career aspirations as well as promoting their health and wellbeing.”
