The Sale Sharks Foundation and Cargill have worked together since 2014 on the “Eat Well, Play Safe” programme. This is delivered in primary schools over a five week period.

The programme combines classroom sessions focused on increasing the children’s understanding of food safety and nutrition, as well as the importance of regular exercise. Tag Rugby sessions are delivered each week as part of the programme, to increase levels of physical activity. Each school will be given their own tag rugby equipment so that they can continue playing after the programme has ended.

The highlight of the programme for many of the children is making their own healthy sandwich. They also have the opportunity to participate in a rugby festival where all of the schools participating in the programme come together for some healthy, friendly fun.

If you know of a school in either Trafford or Salford who would be interested in taking part, then please contact foundation@salesharks.com
