Edition 10: 20th September 2013 Rugby World Cup 2015 Lead Up and Legacy Activity The RFU launched the seven strands of its national Lead up and Legacy plan on October 31st 2012. The aim of this is to set out an overall framework against which national resource will be invested in the lead up to RWC 2015 with the aim of increasing interest and participation in the game. Whilst many Clubs, CBs, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other bodies are working hard to develop local projects to meet identified local need these seven strands are areas in which we will invest national resource to create change in Rugby communities across the country. It is hoped that those delivery bodies that have not yet identified their focus will focus in on these areas and take action to improve provision and opportunities against these themes. Six Regional Activation and Legacy Groups are now up and running and are working to add value to the seven strands and to engage partners from outside of the immediate rugby community in supporting the efforts of those within it. Each group is populated by representatives from CBs and from the wider community. Attached as an appendix to this CB update is a brief overview of progress against the seven strands along with listings of clubs/projects etc involved to date – this will be updated for each issue. In addition to the work against the seven strands strong working relationships have been established with England Rugby 2015, the Organising Body for the tournament itself, and an update on relevant areas are also included in the appendix. CB Visits – September-October 2013 You will have received information concerning the CB visits planned for September and October, to be attended by Steve Grainger and Malcolm Wharton, along with other members of the Executive Team. Many of you have already registered your attendance but if you still have members wishing to attend please let Dee Murray know as soon as possible so that final numbers can be confirmed with the venues. Dates and Venues: Tuesday 1st October – Broad Street RFC, Coventry Wednesday 9th October – Sheffield RUFC, Sheffield Thursday 10th October – Tynedale RFC, Newcastle Monday 14th October – Stadium MK, Milton Keynes Monday 21st October – Guildford RFC, Guildford Wednesday 23rd October – Didsbury Toc H RFC, Greater Manchester For more information: [email protected] Mini & Youth Rugby Blueprint Roadshow – October to December 2013 Following on from the letter sent to you on 15th August 2013, please note in the title above the confirmed name for the Roadshows to ensure clarity that this is about the mini and youth game in clubs, schools and colleges. The programme of dates and venues for the Roadshow is more or less finalised (see below) Communications about the Roadshow have started to build up on the back of the Kids 1st/Ruckley launch and after the 2 Years to Go announcements. This will now continue to roll out more widely across the game and RFU communications network. CB colleagues will be copied in every step of the way. A webpage has been set up with information about the project and a click through to the schedule of events. This is on www.rfu.com/myrugbyblueprint and will go live in the next 24 hours - please take a couple of minutes to have a look. An e-mail address has also been set up for people to contribute their thoughts either if they can't make it to a Roadshow event or if they want to provide follow up feedback having attended. This is [email protected]. E-Fliers and posters are being produced with a simple message about what the Blueprint Roadshows are and a call to arms encouraging people to come along, hear more and have their say. Any support that CBs can give in pushing these through their communications networks as well is of course greatly appreciated. As soon as they are available, they will land with CB Hon Secs. Thanks in advance for your support – more updates to follow in the coming weeks.

These workshops have been developed in partnership with NatWest and will be delivered by NatWest Business Managers. Two pilot workshops were run over the summer in Oxfordshire and Staffordshire to test the material and approach and the feedback from both sessions was very positive. The business workshops are being promoted to the clubs that attended the original NatWest RugbyForce workshop and will cover a number of topics from business planning, cash flow management, and marketing.

Foreword by John Douglas, Chairman of the Adult Competition Review Steering Group 1.1 Over the quarter of a century since competitive league rugby was introduced, much has changed within rugby and in society as a whole. Within rugby, anecdotal and statistical evidence indicates that most clubs field fewer teams now than they once did. The socio-economic environment in which our clubs operate has changed beyond all recognition and the pace of change is likely to continue to increase. With it the requirements of players, supporters and club administrators – in other words, our customers – will also change. Predicting and satisfying those future requirements has been the overriding concern of this review.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
