TA Sunshine Appeal Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 We are very pleased to introduce to everyone, the nominated recipient for the Lithuania donation, this September. Vilnius Social Club - Football School www.vilniussocialclub.lt/en/naujienos/ From their website, here's a little background information on what they do, how they engage with and help children within the local community: "We create for children and youth a different kind of space for their free time; We use football as a way of teaching children and youth various social skills (like attending exercises regularly, being on time, learning to follow the rules, teamwork, managing conflict and competitive situations, being able to win and lose). Children attending "Vilnius Social Club" activities will become more sportive, coordinated, will have better social skills, be able to easily communicate and work in a team. Working with young people on the street - it's a long-term program, which aims to establish a relationship of trust with socially excluded young people and provide them with full support in their environment. Working with young people on the street program is implemented by two street workers, who regularly (3 - 4 crosses over the week) is a gathering place for young people. The program is based on availability, mutual respect, meeting the needs of assistance and confidentiality." If you didn't know, Lithuania is now a basketball hotspot and a lot of clubs who aren't basketball related, find it hard to get funding, so your money will make a massive difference to them. We're sure you'll agree that the 'Vilnius Social Club' are a worthy recipient, who perfectly fit with the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal's aim of donating to organisations that are non-religious, non-governmental funded and who's aims are to bring a little sunshine to the everyday lives of children, who've not had the best of starts in life. #EverywhereWeGo #TheOriginalSince2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
